Having a blast in #NYC doing #dogfriendly activities!

Having Luna and noise cancelling headphones, as well as a clear itinerary with planned breaks made this a great visit!

Synthetic scents are a blessing and a curse. They can be a safe sensory tool, yet are also pushed & pulled away based on NT preference. The safety of a known/beloved chemical is often shattered by a new one being forced upon us. I need stable scent boundaries. #AuDHD #SensoryRegulation #SupportNeeds

The paradox of HCESFC: I can organize a complex project, but I need external support to manage my nervous system. If I can function at all, I'm seen as not needing help. That denial of support is the real disability. High Functioning was & still is a hostile label. #HCESFC #SupportNeeds #AuDHDTruth

An image shows children and staff at ELU Hamilton receiving their Success Looks Different Award, presented by Sophie of Children in Scotland. Text highlights the publication of a new blog, titled supporting every child to thrive.

A quote taken from the blog is featured underneath two smiling women, identified as Muirne Kolek and Caitlin Milligan of ELU Hamilton. The quote reads "we know that children with additional support needs and their families deserve a setting where their voices matter, their individuality is respected and their successes are recognised in meaningful ways.

'I think my child needs support at school. What should I do?' is posed as the question for this week's FAQ Friday. The colour scheme chosen for this week is a dark, deep yellow.

Part one of a three part answer highlights that the first step should always be to raise any worries you have with a class or guidance teacher to help them understand concerns and potential issues.

Part two of the answer highlights that the school should work with you and your child to identify what would work best, and it may be helpful to share what works at home. Schools should also take into account information provided by other professionals involved with your child. Card two of three.

This final card highlights that support should always be needs based and child-centred and may look different from one person to the next. Answer card three of three.

One of our most common qu. is what to do and where to start when talking about #supportneeds, particularly if a child is at the beginning of their learner journey or their needs have changed.

Our advice? Ask for support, share what you know and remember, one size doesn't fit all.
