If you think it’s hard getting support for your child at school, wait until they enter the workplace! It is beyond stressful identifying support needs for your grown up ‘young person’ in the work place, let alone actually managing to get provision in the current climate. Lucy has worked with my son to ensure he gets what he deserves in terms of equal opportunities in the workplace. She makes the perfect advocate - having the appropriate data at her fingertips and getting to know her client so that she can support him through the process.
“Lucy has done some coaching for me to help me manage my ADHD symptoms. She is very understanding and helps me gain some perspective. She has a non-judgmental and kind, but firm, approach. She points out my strengths and assists me to reflect on the weaknesses where the behaviours and negative thought loops don’t serve me.”
Lucy is a great listener and she will work with you to to come up with solutions for yourself or, in our case, for our neurodiverse young adult. With her extensive knowledge and experience, she will work with you and the employer so that both parties get the most out of the placement. In our case, she helped us get support for our son who has his own self-employed career and her hands on approach and access to hard facts and data were invaluable. When masking and delayed processing are in the mix, it is difficult to get help as it may not look like it is necessary. Workability provide a bridge for the communication gap between the company and the employee and can signpost to other support services where appropriate. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
