Referral Criteria

At ENA consulting, we predominantly offer support to parents and carers to help them to develop strategies that can improve their family's quality of life.  However, we are very keen to involve the young person as much as possible in the work to ensure that the strategies we are suggesting will be both motivating and helpful for the young person.

​

We have developed some criteria to help people to know whether they would be appropriate for our service.

​

These include: 

  • The child being of primary school aged children (aged four to eleven)

  • Any behaviours that are displayed present as a low risk. This means that the presenting behaviours are not posing a serious risk to others (see below for a further breakdown of this)

  • There are no current high risk safeguarding concerns, nor any other complex family situations that may impact the family's abilities to implement the work

​

 

Although our team specialises in nuerodiversity, a diagnosis is not necessary for you to meet our criteria. If you wish to discuss your young person further, please get in touch and arrange a free 20 minute consultation. 

​

Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to work with young people that attend a school in Hertfordshire or West Essex due to a conflict of interest with my other employer. However, I would be more than happy to provide signposting support if you wish to contact me further.
