Hi all,

I just wanted to share something (timetables!) I found helpful to get Bella - who has autism and ADHD - to her Reception class on time.

Before we would run up to an hour late, with lots of meltdowns and temper tantrums involved. This has helped me lots.

What adjustments do you make for your child with SN to help them function in daily life?

When mine were younger we adjusted without realising we were adjusting.
So a very calm household, lots of warnings before switching tasks, planning things in advance, that kind of thing.

It was only later when we still needed the adjustments and the DC needed more scaffolding than peers that their extra needs became more and more visible.
