Supporting children with additional needs at home

Routines that stay consistent

Children with additional needs often benefit most from predictable routines, whoever is providing support. Sharing clear, written routines with any carer helps keep transitions smooth and reduces anxiety for the child.

Working alongside professionals

Carers supporting a child should work closely with parents, guardians and any relevant professionals, following agreed communication approaches and updating the family on anything that matters.

  • Share communication approaches agreed with professionals

  • Keep a simple shared record of what's working well

  • Review routines together as the child's needs change
