Something feels different, but you cannot quite put it into words. Perhaps communication is tricky, everyday routines feel overwhelming, or nursery has raised a concern. You do not need all the answers—or a paperwork folder with its own postcode—to take the next step.
This warm, practical guide helps you explore your child’s strengths and emerging needs without jumping to a diagnosis. Written for parents and carers in England, it covers communication, attention, play, sensory experiences and everyday development.
Inside, you’ll find:
Reassurance and clear guidance on what to notice.
Examples that help you put concerns into words.
Conversation prompts for nursery and health appointments.
An explanation of local authority differences and England’s national SEND Code of Practice.
A printable strengths-and-needs profile.
A simple observation sheet.
An appointment preparation worksheet.
Links to trusted information and further support.
Suitable for families with children from birth to starting school, including those exploring possible ADHD, autism/ASC or other special educational needs and disabilities.
Format: 16-page downloadable PDF.
Please note: This guide provides general information. It is not a diagnostic tool or personalised medical or legal advice.
