You can move between routes. Good support is collaborative, and the child’s experience should connect the conversation.

Common starting points

Explore support by topic.

These topics offer general guidance, not assessment or diagnosis. What helps one child may not help another, so adapt thoughtfully and review together.

01

Learning and attention

Practical ways to make instructions, tasks and environments easier to access.

02

Communication

Support understanding, expression and participation using clear, respectful approaches.

03

Sensory needs

Notice possible barriers and consider proportionate adjustments to the environment and routine.

04

Transitions and change

Prepare for changes in activity, class, school or wider life with greater predictability.

05

Accessible technology

Choose tools around the child’s needs, privacy and agency—not novelty.

06

Working together

Build clearer communication between children, families, schools and relevant services.

For families and carers

You know the child in ways no checklist can capture.

Begin with what the child enjoys, what feels difficult, when barriers appear and what already helps. You can bring questions, examples or concerns without needing specialist language.

A useful first conversation can cover:

  • The child’s strengths, interests and preferred ways to communicate
  • Situations where participation becomes easier or harder
  • Strategies already tried and what happened
  • The next small change that would make a meaningful difference

For schools and educators

Make inclusion visible in everyday practice.

Review the task, environment, communication and expectations before locating the difficulty solely within the child. Use professional judgement and involve pupils and families in understanding what works.

Inclusive practice prompts:

  • Is the instruction clear, manageable and available in more than one form?
  • Can the child show understanding in a way that works for them?
  • Have sensory, communication and transition needs been considered?
  • Is technology reducing a barrier without weakening privacy or agency?
Discuss school support

For practitioners and partners

Connect support with clear boundaries.

Share only what is necessary, explain consent and limits clearly, and avoid asking families to repeat their story without good reason. A referral should make the next step easier to understand.

    Listen

  2. 02

    Offer a clear handover, next action and review point.

If there is an immediate risk to a child or another person, contact the appropriate emergency or statutory safeguarding service.
