This is amazing for us! Thank you. Any tips from your report would be really helpful for our situation right now.

Hi, I'm sorry, I've only just seen your post. I think I forgot to check the email notifications box!

What I did with the report was break it down into the different daily things I would need to do with a child and then further break that down into ages/needs. My basic structure was this:

Scenario: ie. feeding, bathing, bedtime routine, going to school, nappy changing (at home and out)

Notes: What are the important considerations, for example for feeding I put "Important things are having the child safe and secure while food is being prepared and while they’re being fed. Also to allow them to eat with us at a table as they get older."

Child's age/developmental stage/needs: ie. bottle feeding, sitting at the table to eat, pre-walking/toddling/fully mobile

Supporting evidence/advice from parents: This is where the links above come in handy, but I'm also part of a disabled parents Facebook group where I got loads of great practical advice. I also asked non-disabled parents I know how they do things in situations like having a bad back, holding bags of shopping, having multiple children. Less mobile grandparents can also give great advice here.

Products: I gave links to products that I'd consider buying and explained what they'd help me with.

I hope that helps! Please feel free to message me if there's anything else I can help with!

Thanks so much for replying. I've sent you a chat message, not sure how this works as not used it before! Hopefully we can get in touch :) thanks
