Planning for a disabled child’s adulthood transition is always a good idea.
A plan helps them think about the future, supports those involved in their care, and allows parent carers to make their own plans too.

Such a clever idea: Tesco have created “sensory borrow bags” with ear defenders, fidget toys and visual emotion cards to prevent disabled children from feeling overwhelmed while in store!
Time to expand this scheme beyond just a few stores, @Tesco? 👀 netmums.com/life/tesco-store…
