Creating inclusive, informed school environments—together.

"Our session with Louisa was so informative. She pitched it at a level that was perfect for our mix of experienced and new LSAs. Louisa delivered the training following the content that I requested. The staff learnt a lot and all LSAs said that they left with something new to try with the child/children they are working with.
Louisa answered questions the staff had thoroughly and with an obvious expanse of knowledge. We were so grateful for the training and will be asking CIC Express to come back and deliver some more in depth training on specific areas for us. Thank you again to the team and to Louisa for her informative session. "

"We have noticed that S is so much more able to express how he is feeling, or how we are making him feel. "

"Express counselling is a valuable service and life changing in my case and I am sure that others must feel the same."

"The support and expertise which you provide (special mention for the PDA support group ) is just astounding. What a lifeline you give for parents who might otherwise be isolated and at sea."
