Intuitive Thinking Skills
Intuitive Thinking Skills (ITS) is a national peer-led organisation providing attitude and behaviour change programmes and mentoring for young people who are often perceived as having complex needs that increase the risk of disengaging from education such as poor mental health, involvement in gangs/criminal activity or drug and alcohol misuse.
Many of the students that we work with have complex needs ranging from Autism to Profound Multiple Learning Difficulties. Our staff have experience in working with these difficulties and making extraordinary progress with students who have been unable to sustain education in a standard setting.
We use simple approaches to support young people to understand the impact of their choices. Educating them to live prosperous lives free from limiting labels.
Our bespoke structured year 11 mentoring service provides education on topics that empower learners to improve their decision-making and responses in situations where personal space and safety may be compromised improving outcomes in their education and lives.
Mindset topics can include (although not limited to),
• Ambivalence, Procrastination & transposing
• Critical Thinking Skills
• Changing Language and Mind-set
• Anger Management
• Managing Mental Health
• Reasoning & Decision Making
• Regaining Self-Control

Challenging thinking on topics (although not limited to),
• Drugs & Alcohol Abstinence/Awareness

Our specialism is our holistic approach that works with the persons requirements and needs not us dictating their support requirements to them. We use informal conversation and initial one-to-one assessment sessions to identify challenges and suitable response topics. We can offer sessions that can take place over 1 week or several weeks and can deliver one-to-one virtual sessions or face-to-face in classroom environment.
Knowledge can be demonstrated by accredited learning qualifications should the learner desire (minimum of 7 sessions required to achieve the guided learning hour requirement)
