Neuro‑affirming, sensory‑informed support for your child’s communication

Our first appointment is all about connection. We follow your child’s lead, observe how they naturally communicate, and learn what feels safe and joyful for them.

From there, we share practical strategies, sensory‑informed approaches, parent coaching and 1:1 therapy that build on your child’s strengths and interests.

We also offer training for parents, schools and nurseries on speech sounds, stammering, AAC, autism, sensory needs and supporting minimally speaking children.

Your children - and your family - truly matter to us. We care deeply about their wellbeing, their comfort and their communication journey. 💛

Every child communicates differently - and we’re here to celebrate and support that.

Today is International LEGO Day!

LEGO might be a favourite toy or special interest! This means that it can be a perfect opportunity to follow your child's lead❤️

Children are much more likely to communicate with us when we focus on what they are interested in and join in with their ideas. Following your child's lead helps create opportunities to demonstrate language around their interests which is meaningful to the child.☺

Lego can be used to make toy buildings, vehicles, animals, plants, or even words! 🌻🍎

We use Lego in sessions as a way to introduce new vocabulary and model language such as:
“take it out the box”
“put it on”
“I want the green one”
“take it off”
“more blocks”

We also use Lego as an expressive language activity which involves taking turns to give and follow instructions to build a model together. This also promotes problem-solving and teamwork skills.

💛 So many parents don’t realise they’re eligible for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) - even when their child’s needs are significant.

If your child needs extra supervision, care through the night, support to stay safe, or help that goes beyond what’s typical for their age, you could be entitled to financial support.

Our brilliant Alyson Collins, ALN Consultant here at Sunshine Support, will guide you through:
✨ What DLA and PIP actually are
✨ Who can claim and how to apply
✨ What evidence helps your case
✨ Common mistakes and how to avoid them

📅 DLA & PIP Webinar
🗓️ 10th February | 8pm Online
🎟️ Book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1848269496819

This session could make all the difference - to your finances, your stress levels, and your family’s quality of life.

Don’t miss it.

Today is National Hugging Day!

"The good thing about hugs: when you give one, you get one too"

Hugs can also be a great way to support proprioception due to tight hugs providing deep pressure which supports muscles and joints.

Today is a great day to offer connection in a way that feels nice for each person. Autistic people (and many non‑autistic people too) may prefer connection that isn’t physical. Consent, comfort, and communication matter, so always ask before giving a hug.

It's National Tea Day. We love sitting down with a cuppa after a long day!

Celebrate with a teddy bear tea party! Pour cups of tea and use words like: pour, sip, it's so yummy, let's have more.

Sing songs such as “I’m a Little Teapot” or “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” and model actions with the song.

Add a story for your guests! We love Chocolate Moose for Greedy Goose by Julia Donaldson. It's a short repetitive rhyming story with lots of fun animals.
