What is
Tea Time?

Tea Time is a free monthly online parent training series from Acclaim Behavioural Health, created for parents and carers supporting children and teens with autism, ADHD or behaviours of concern.

Each live Zoom session explores one practical topic, with strategies you can understand and try at home. Sessions are led by a UK-registered Behaviour Analyst and are open to families whether their child has a diagnosis, is waiting for an assessment or has no diagnosis at all.

Ask questions, join the conversation or simply listen.

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can begin using in everyday situations.

This Month's
Tea Time

Why does a behaviour keep happening, even when you’ve tried everything?
Understanding why a behaviour happens can change how we respond to it.

In this session, we’ll explore what behaviour can communicate, why certain behaviours may keep happening and how looking at what happens before and after a behaviour can help you better understand your child’s needs.

Who Is Tea Time For?

How Does Free Online Parent Training Work?

Tea Time takes place live on Zoom on the first Tuesday of every month at 8:00 pm UK time, with each session lasting around 60 minutes.

Each month, we focus on a different topic related to behaviour, autism, ADHD, parenting or everyday family life. You can participate in the discussion, bring your questions or simply listen.

Tea Time is hosted by our UK team and designed with UK families in mind. Parents and carers outside the UK are also welcome to attend.

There is no ongoing commitment. Join the sessions that are most useful to you.
