About Relationship Health and Neurodiversity Consultations and Coaching
Relationship Health is an important element in supporting the development of any child or young person or adult. It is a particularly important detail if a child or adult has additional needs or any neurodiversity due to the longer period of dependency of the child on the support of the adult.
In addition if a child or adult has any additional needs, ensuring that the relationship health is as strong as possible creates the conditions that helps the adult be most effective in helping the child overcome their specific challenges.
The purpose of an adult-child relationship health assessment is therefore to explore the current status of a specific relationship with an adult in a role of parental responsibility.
Strong relationship health will mean that an adult is well placed to effectively support the child in progressing through priority social emotional and developmental milestones.
So the purpose of the assessment is to explore what is happening currently and why and to make recommendations about the specific details that need attention to ensure that relationship health progresses in the most supportive and effective direction. The elements which are focussed on in a relationship health assessment are derived from an understanding of the I Matter Framework which provides the theory and theory to practice foundations for our recommendations.
Assessment, consultation and personalised support with your I Matter learning journey is provided by certified practitioners.

Supporting Progress Over Time
The questionnaire we use to assess and offer guidance around current relationship health and neurodiversity can also provides the foundation for reviewing progress over time. In a consultation an I Matter relationship health informed practitioner will work with you to help you start to understand more about your own situation with the help of the insights of the I Matter Framework. This means that through the assessment, consultation and training process, we aim to help you make sense of:
- What is happening right now
- When the difficulties started
- What factors may have contributed to the difficulties
- What is keeping the difficulties going
- What strengths and resources are present
- What skills need practising in order to see progress
We encourage you to commit to the learning process as long as is needed to bring about healthier happier relationships and confidence. Professionals, parents and young people tell us that this way of seeing things feels supportive, empowering, refreshing and hopeful.
