Latest top tips
a few bright ideas you've been sending us

  • Happy stuff

    I carry teddy bears around with me if I worry going out with people, or I'm feeling sad worried or angry and it helps me stay happy. Photo books, toys, teddy bears for me. Cartoons, CD DVDs films movies. Happy stuff

  • Special photo

    I sleep with my special photo, then if at night when I'm not as comfortable around the staff or not happy in my self then I sleep with the picture of people who I am happy around. 

  • You can ring my bell

    When the little boy I look after got a bit too grown up for a baby monitor, but still needed help sometimes at night, I got him a wireless doorbell to use to call me.

  • Preparing rucksack

    When preparing a pump feed rucksack, use the strap at the top to hang it from a kitchen cupboard handle, it keeps the bag upright and leaves two hands free to thread the tubes through.

  • Disco shower

    I've bought a multi-coloured shower head on Amazon. The shower head flashes different coloured lights while the water is turned on. My son, who previously hated washing, loves it now! 

  • Hood first

    My daughter had problems putting on her coat until I taught her to put the hood on first, then slip her arms in. That way her coat is always the right way round and she doesn't get frustrated. 

  • Two sheets

    I put two waterproof sheets on, so when he wets, I can gently peel the sheet away without making him get up - so he goes back to sleep more easily!

  • Building self confidence

    I take my dog once a month to visit a young blind teenager with learning disabiities. She is quite frightened of dogs, and every time we visit, it takes her about an hour to pat him, but then she loves it. She really enjoys the interaction and sensory play. The sense of achievement she obviously feels when she finally pats him is wonderful.
