Happy Chatters Neuroaffirming Tutoring Programme

Learning Through Connection. Growing Through Understanding.

At Happy Chatters, every child learns in a way that celebrates their individual strengths. Our Neuroaffirming Tutoring Programme offers personalised, specialist SEND tuition — built around communication, confidence and emotional wellbeing, not just academic progress.

We don’t ask children to fit a teaching model. We adapt our teaching to fit the child.

Who We Support

We work with children and young people with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, PDA Profile
  • Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and other SLCN
  • Global Developmental Delay and learning differences
  • Anxiety related to learning or school, and EBSA
  • Home Educated, EHCP and EOTAS learners

We welcome referrals from parents, schools, Local Authorities, Alternative Provision and other education professionals.

What Makes Us Different

Founded by Speech and Language professionals, Happy Chatters builds communication into every session — including support for AAC users, minimally speaking learners, and those with delayed language processing, hyperlexia, or Gestalt Language Processing (GLP).

We also understand how emotional regulation and sensory processing affect learning. Sessions can include sensory breaks, movement, visual supports and flexible seating — because when children feel safe, they learn best.

Rather than asking “what does this child need to improve?”, we ask “what helps this child learn best?”

What a Session Looks Like

  • Connection first — building rapport through interests, conversation and regulation
  • Learning through interests — motivating topics that increase engagement
  • Flexible teaching — visuals, games, AAC, whiteboards, or conversation, tailored to the learner
  • Feedback for parents — what went well, strategies used, and ideas for home

Subjects

Primary: Reading, Writing, Phonics, Maths, Science, Topic-based learning
Secondary: English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills, GCSE support (where appropriate)

Every programme is personalised to the learner’s age, interests and goals.

Trained, Safe, Trusted

All Happy Chatters tutors hold an Enhanced DBS check and complete safeguarding, neuroaffirming and communication-strategy training, with ongoing professional development in autism, ADHD, PDA, GLP, sensory regulation and SEND legislation.

Flexible Delivery & Funding

Sessions can take place at home, online, in schools, in the community, or at our clinic.

We support private funding, EHCP Personal Budgets, EOTAS packages, Local Authority commissions, school funding and Alternative Provision. Not sure which route is right for you? Just ask.
