ADHD Mentoring for Children and Young People
Relationship-led SEN mentoring that helps children with ADHD feel confident, regulated, and engaged
ADHD does not need more pressure, tighter rules, or constant reminders to focus.
It needs understanding, movement, interest, and space to engage in ways that actually work.
At SEN Manny Mentor, our SEN mentors support ADHD learners every day. We understand that focus often arrives through curiosity, enjoyment, and connection rather than sitting still or being told to concentrate.
Our ADHD mentoring for children and young people is built around the individual in front of us. Sessions are active, responsive, and often playful, shaped in real time.
This is specialist SEN mentoring for ADHD that works with ADHD, not against it.
What ADHD Mentoring Looks Like
Every ADHD mentoring session begins with connection.
At SEN Manny Mentor, our SEN mentors adapt to how each child or young person with ADHD arrives on the day. We adjust pace, activity, and interaction in real time rather than forcing a fixed plan.
ADHD mentoring sessions are flexible and interest-led. They may involve games, movement, conversation, practical projects, or exploring a topic the learner enjoys. Learning is woven into what already holds attention.
This approach allows ADHD learners to engage without pressure and supports focus through enjoyment rather than control.
How Progress Happens in ADHD Mentoring
Progress in ADHD mentoring does not show up as sitting still for longer.
It appears as greater willingness to engage, steadier emotional regulation, improved self-awareness, and increased confidence around learning.
When attention drops, we adjust. When energy rises, we work with it. SEN mentoring for ADHD focuses on helping children and young people feel capable rather than corrected.
Over time, many learners begin to recognise their own progress. They feel more in control of their energy. Learning starts to feel achievable again. Progress holds because it grows from understanding.
Why Families Choose Our ADHD Mentoring
Families often come to us when school support or traditional mentoring has stopped working for their child with ADHD.
They are looking for a SEN Manny Mentor who understands ADHD in real life, not just in theory.
Our mentors bring calm, humour, and creativity into every session. Many have lived experience of ADHD, which helps build trust quickly.
We focus on strengths, curiosity, and effort. Learners begin to notice what they are good at and feel more confident in how they learn.
Parents often tell us the biggest shift is emotional. Their child feels understood. Engagement becomes easier. Confidence starts to return.
Our SEN Experience
Our small, hand-picked team of SEN mentors brings experience from SEN schools, home education, and EOTAS provision across London, Hertfordshire, and the UK.
Much of our work involves supporting children and young people with ADHD who struggling with focus, motivation, emotional regulation, or school-related anxiety.
Through years of SEN mentoring, we have developed approaches that allow energy to be expressed safely while building meaningful progress. Support stays flexible as learners grow and change.
Every young person is held within a wider team that reflects together and adapts mentoring so it remains steady and well supported.
