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

  • Prep for outings

    When attempting a new activity or outing, eg horseriding, theme park etc, prepare in advance by showing pictures, books, leaflets & talking about it. We have found YouTube invaluable as most venues & activities are in video form. Also many attractions have apps you can use.

  • Teaching letters

    When teaching children their letters if you make a fist with both hands and stand up your thumbs, the right one looks like a 'b' and the left a 'd'. Tip them upside down and the right becomes a 'p' and the left a 'q'. Also holding your left hand out flat and extending your thumb outwards, the letter 'L' is formed - this also makes L for Left.

  • Long flights

    When I go to Orlando it is 10 long hours with my son who has cerebral palsy, severe learning difficulties, epilepsy and behaviour problems. I take 11 small wrapped presents. Every hour he gets to open one like pens, a book, a new game for his dsi, sweets, … etc. Time soon goes by.
