    O Education Group at The Autism & ADHD Show 2026

    O Education Group was delighted to exhibit at The Autism & ADHD Show 2026, joining families, educators, practitioners and organisations across three UK locations to share ideas, experiences and conversations about improving support for neurodivergent children and young people.

    The events took place across three locations:

    • London: 19–20 June 2026 – Business Design Centre
    • Birmingham: 26–27 June 2026 – NEC Birmingham
    • Liverpool: 3–4 July 2026 – Exhibition Centre Liverpool

    Sharing Our Vision for Inclusive Education

    Throughout the events, we had the opportunity to showcase the work of Odyssey House Schools and introduce more families and professionals to Ohana, our innovative approach to education designed to provide greater clarity, care and connection for children, families, schools and professionals.

    Our CEO and Co-Founder, Charu Kashyap, also joined the workshop programme to share insights into the impact of our schools and the importance of creating learning environments that recognise and respond to every child’s individual needs.

    Opening Important Conversations About School Distress

    At the London event on Saturday 20 June, Charu co-presented alongside Natalie Lauren and Jo Clayton, the creators of the powerful short film Unauthorised Absence.

    The film highlights the challenges faced by many SEND families navigating school distress, attendance pressures, fines and education systems that can struggle to understand the underlying needs of children and young people.

    O Education Group was proud to support Natalie and Jo in bringing this important project to life. The workshop provided an opportunity to explore these challenges and encourage meaningful conversations about how education can better support children whose needs are not being met by traditional environments.

    Building Connections and Creating Change

    The Autism & ADHD Show brought together individuals and organisations committed to making a positive difference in the lives of neurodivergent children and young people.

    For O Education Group, attending all three events was an opportunity to listen, learn, share our experiences and connect with families and professionals who share our belief that education should be built around the individual.

    We would like to thank everyone who visited us, attended our workshop and shared their experiences throughout the events.

    These conversations are central to our mission of creating educational environments where every child has the opportunity to learn, connect and grow in their own way.

    Introducing Ohana: A Different Way Back Into Learning

    We are so excited to finally share the first glimpse of something we’ve been building with huge passion, purpose, and intent…

    Children do not need less ambition.

    They need a different doorway back into learning.

    Today we are proud to bring Ohana to life — an online school for young people who need education to feel safer, more flexible and more human.

    A place to learn differently.
    A place to find your people.
    A place where no one gets left behind or forgotten.

    Inside Ohana, learning becomes an adventure again — with shared quests, exploration, creativity and a world designed to help young people rebuild confidence, connection and curiosity at their own pace.

    Because sometimes the first step back into education is not pressure.

    It’s belonging.

    Welcome to Ohana, welcome to family.
