4. How do I know which service is right for me?
Most families start with a Free 20-minute Discovery Call.
We talk about your situation, what’s working, what isn’t, and the kind of support you’re looking for.
You’ll leave with clarity and next steps.
5. Do you diagnose ADHD or Autism?
No. SquiggleSpace does not diagnose.
However, through coaching, sensory assessments, and profiling, I can strongly indicate whether a formal assessment may be beneficial and guide you towards next steps.
6. What is a Sensory Needs Assessment?
A structured assessment exploring your child’s sensory profile — what they seek, avoid, struggle with or rely on.
You receive:
• A full written report
• Strategies tailored to school and home
• Sensory environment recommendations
• Insights that may support future diagnostic pathways if needed
7. How does ADHD Coaching work?
Coaching is gentle, supportive and completely neuroaffirming.
We explore:
•Family dynamics & Your child(ren) profile
• Emotional regulation
• Routines, overwhelm, meltdowns, “I don’t know” barriers
• Communication tools
• Parent scripts & strategies
• Sensory-friendly approaches
• Practical changes to home and school life
Coaching is never about “fixing behaviour” — it’s about understanding the brain behind it.
8. Do you work with schools and alternative provisions?
Yes!
SquiggleSpace provides:
• Staff training & workshops

9. Can I buy your workbooks without coaching?

A purpose-built SquiggleSpace venue is currently in development to expand availability.
12. What should I prepare before a session?
Nothing fancy!
A quiet space (as much as possible), any examples you want to discuss, and if your child is attending — reassurance that this is a safe, calm, pressure-free space.

Yes — coaching packages and assessments can be split into instalments. If affordability is a concern, please reach out.

Absolutely. Information is kept confidential unless there is a safeguarding concern or risk of harm.
