Sessions for 12-17 Year Olds

Young people's profiles and needs will vary significantly. Some would prefer an adult present, others wish to engage without parental support. Generally, Doctor Jo supports the young person's wishes. Sessions are focused around identified needs.

Included in your hourly rate is a comprehensive summary of your session. Doctor Jo understands there is a LOT to take in during sessions, and there is no pressure on you or your child to remember all of this.

Often tailored resources can help learning in between the sessions, and this age group can particularly benefit from therapeutic letters. Doctor Jo will suggest this as and when this feels relevant. We will never bill for these without your say so.

On occasion, Doctor Jo might suggest that it is most beneficial for a parent-only session. The frequency of these will depend on your child's needs and ability to engage. Doctor Jo will focus these sessions on strategies related to parenting a neurodivergent teen, rather than disclosing details about sessions.

If there are specific challenges in school then Doctor Jo may suggest putting together reasonable adjustments for a school setting, attending meetings, or if the school is willing, providing training on your child's profile.

It is best practice to communicate with schools, but we will not do so without your consent.

In exam years, Doctor Jo may support your child with strategies associated with their neurodivergent profile and learning needs. this includes tailored revision methods for neurodivergent young people and supporting with applications for reasonable adjustments.
