INTRODUCTION:
My name is Linda Porter and I am an Educational Consultant.
My background is as a teacher, with a specialism in SEND and managing challenging behaviours. I pioneered and developed the internationally renowned HET (Holistic Educational Therapy) programme . This successful programme has won numerous awards, accolades , endorsements and commendations over the years.
More information about this successful programme is available from www.HETwebsite.com (now archived) if you require any information or support on HET child focused learning approaches.

The HET programme is comprised of 3 strands:
- An Holistic approach to identifying and supporting the root cause of challenging behaviours
- A peronalised., bespoke and therapeutic child focused learning programme
- A personalised behaviour management strategy
This programme + books and resources which have been developed over 20 years to help children, young people and their families, to learn HOLISTICALLY together and in partnership with schools are now freely available for download o
Please check back on this site regularly as I am currently updating with the many resources for all ages that I have developed and used successfully over the years.
Here is an article about my work that was published in Kindred Spirit Magazine a few years ago:

The following books cover the entire HET programme and are interactive:
INTRODUCTORY BOOK:
STEPPING STONE 1
Consultations
This is the basis of evaluating improvement on the programme. If we can measure something then we can improve something, so this is all about creating a positive working partnership with your child’s main educators and agreeing desirable behaviours and undesirable behaviours so you can set SMART targets
Change what needs changing!
What gets measured gets improved!

STEPPING STONE 2
This stepping stone is how to establish a reward incentives chart that really works and focuses on celebrating your child’s success.
Consistent boundaries are agreed between home and school and encourage positive choices in behaviour and life style with your child.
Motivating your child through consistent boundaries
You get the best efforts from your child, not from lighting the fire beneath them but lighting the fire within them.
Stand with your child not above them
Stepping stone 2 – Rewards, incentives and consistent boundaries
STEPPING STONE 3
This is about emotional management and using the Bach Flower remedies to change negative feelings into positive ones – when we feel better we make better choices and have better outcomes in our life
The Mind is like a farmer’s field: Water the seed with negative emotions and you will have toxic growth – water those same seeds with positive emotion and blossom to fruition to harvest abundance
