Dear Kerrylloyd

Thanks for getting in touch. Here are some links that you can look at that might be helpful.

Norfolk Positive behaviour strategies

There is also the Solihull programme which have not additional section and one is section is around children with additional needs

I would also recommend to contact Family Action as they could possibly offer support around behaviour if you are awaiting a diagnosis. They also have a helpline you can contact

family-action.org.uk/neurod...

If you live in Norfolk, you can also contact the Just One Number on 0300 300 0123 and can speak to one of the school nurses or possibly the complex needs nurse.

Best wishes
