Parent Voices - Luke Squires
Lucy Kennerley • June 8, 2026
We're thrilled to share two new pieces from Luke Squires, a dad to three neurodiverse children, living with ADHD himself....
In 'Why I Don't "Push Through" Anymore', Luke writes about behaviour, stress, and the shift in thinking that changed his family. In 'Understanding Changes Everything', he speaks directly to professionals, parents, and carers about what genuine support looks like and why curiosity matters more than compliance. Thank you so much Luke for sharing!
Both are worth reading slowly...

Reasonable adjustments come from a legal duty under the Equality Act 2010. Schools must remove barriers for disabled pupils by making practical, appropriate changes that allow them to access learning like everyone else.
I had the pleasure of presenting alongside brilliant speakers and the CANDDID study team on the “Knowing ME!” neurodiversity profiling tool, currently being developed across Cheshire and Merseyside.
