Family First SEND support

💙 COMING TONIGHT 💙

I’ve had so many messages recently from parents and schools looking for support around some of the biggest transitions children face.

So I’ve been working on something new…

✨ Starting School
✨ Moving Class
✨ Transitioning to Secondary School

These visual support cards are designed to help children understand what is happening, reduce anxiety around change, and feel more prepared for the next step in their journey.

Whether your child is excited, worried, or somewhere in between, having clear visual supports can make a real difference.

Keep an eye on the page tonight for the full reveal 👀

Which transition is your family preparing for this year?

📚 Transition visits are starting, and for many children that can bring a mix of excitement, uncertainty and big feelings.

As a SENDCo, one of the questions I’m asked most often is how parents can help prepare their child for a new classroom, teacher or school.

I’ve put together 5 simple strategies that can make a real difference before transition visits begin.

✨ Talk positively about the change
✨ Look at photos together
✨ Practise new routines
✨ Connect with other families
✨ Be kind to yourself

Remember, there isn’t a “perfect” transition. Small steps, reassurance and familiarity can go a long way.

Which tip do you find most helpful? Or is there something that has worked well for your child? 👇

✨ New Resource Alert ✨

As we head towards transition season, I’ve created a new booklet to help children prepare for moving classes.

For some children, a change of classroom, teacher, routine, or environment can feel overwhelming. Having the opportunity to explore these changes beforehand can help build confidence and reduce anxiety.

The booklet includes space to learn about new adults, classrooms, routines, friends, and anything else that will help make September feel more familiar.

As both a SEND Specialist Teacher and parent, I know that preparation can make such a difference.

If you’d like more information, feel free to send me a message. 💙

I’m starting to look ahead and would love to attend more school summer fairs, village events, community days and local craft fairs across Lincolnshire.

Family First SEND Support offers a range of SEND resources, communication supports, visual aids, first experience cards and parent resources, and I’d love the opportunity to share them with more families.

If you’re involved in organising an event, or know of one looking for stallholders, please get in touch or tag them below.

I’d be so grateful for any recommendations ❤️
