Meet Jude

East London School Outreach

Before Joining TCES Create in the Community

Jude was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD.
He would display extreme verbal and violent physical assaults towards both staff and peers, often unprovoked.
Jude rarely attended lessons and would often run out of class, refusing to engage in any academic work.
Jude struggled to build relationships with his peers at school. His violent outbursts had a negative impact on his peers, some of whom were exposed to domestic violence.
Mum and school staff were concerned about him forming unhealthy relationships outside of school time with young people in his community.
Jude was at risk of criminal exploitation.
He had multiple exclusions.

Progression

Staff provided consistent and predictable routines and expectations with Jude to minimise anxiety that he may experience when building relationships with adults and other young people.
He received positive reassurance about who he is as a person with clear feedback on unacceptable behaviour.
Jude has shown great improvement in his interactions with peers, demonstrating the ability to work well with others and show respect in group settings.
Jude was provided with effective therapeutic and sensory strategies techniques to help him feel calm and relaxed, allowing him to regulate his emotions.
His desire to engage positively with peers his own age has been evident at several events, including the TCES Group annual football tournament, sports day, and wellbeing day.
His listening, attention and concentration skills have improved.
Jude can now engage in his learning within a classroom environment for a sustained period of time.
