Groups, schools and inclusion
Wave Community: groups, schools and inclusion
Group programmes, school support and training that change the environment around a person, not only the person.
Inclusion is not just being in the classroom. It is being able to take part in it.
What brings families here
- “He plays next to other children, never with them.”
- “Birthday parties end with us leaving early.”
- “The school wants to help but does not know how.”
What we work on

How it works
Three steps, and you can stop after the first
Most families arrive worried they are about to be sold a package. Here is the whole process, so there are no surprises in it.
- 1
Talk to us
A free first conversation, in person or on the phone. You tell us what you are seeing. We tell you honestly whether we are the right people, and what we would look at first. Nothing is booked at this stage.
- 2
Assessment and plan
We look at the specific skills involved rather than the label. You get a written plan with goals we can measure, and you know what each session is for before it starts.
- 3
Sessions and visible progress
Work begins, with data tracked against those goals. You see the progress, you get the strategies to use at home, and the plan is reviewed as your child moves.
