How they help schools
Connections in Mind specialises in executive functioning and neuroinclusive education, equipping teachers and school leaders with the knowledge, confidence and practical strategies to better support diverse learning needs.
Its aim is to help schools create neuroinclusive classrooms where every learner has the opportunity to thrive, using approaches that are inclusive and realistic within busy classrooms.
Neuroinclusive classroom practice
Practical training to help educators create learning environments that recognise and respond to different learning, attention, emotional regulation and executive functioning needs.
Staff training and CPD
Evidence-informed training for teachers, teaching assistants, SEND teams and school leaders, covering executive functioning, ADHD, autism and neuroinclusive approaches.
Executive function coach training
Specialist professional development enabling school staff to develop coaching skills and embed executive function support into everyday school practice.
Whole-school approaches
Support to build staff confidence, develop consistent inclusive practices and reduce barriers to learning across the school community.
Individual executive function coaching

What does HeadteacherChat® think?
We’ve worked with Connections in Mind for a while now, and we’re always super impressed by their dedication to their customers and their commitment to providing a high quality service.
We know school leaders want inclusion to mean more than another policy or training day. What we like about Connections in Mind’s approach is the focus on understanding what sits behind a learner’s difficulties and giving staff practical ways to help. Supporting planning, organisation and emotional regulation is about making everyday school life feel more manageable, not adding another thing to an already busy to-do list.
