Hi all. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I actually write for one of the expert forums here on Netbuddy, offering assistive technology and IT advice. Pop over and check it out if you get the chance - hopefully it may be of some help to some people. My work allows me the privalige of working with families and young people with disabilities and I hope I can offer some experience and support to any dads who may need a sounding board every now and again! I am also a dad to two young children myself.

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

  • Paint pens

    Paint pens, like these Squeeze 'n Brush pens, are brilliant for people who find painting difficult, and make very little mess.

  • Ditch the bib

    As your child gets older, if they still need protective clothing when eating, replace a bib with an apron. It's less 'babyish' and demoralising for them and may help eliminate any negative feelings they have about mealtimes.

  • Explore alternatives

    Try replacing repetitive behaviour with another activity that has the same function. For eg if your child flicks their fingers for visual stimulation, try giving them a kaleidoscope or a bubble gun.
