Valentine’s Day can be a helpful time to talk with your young person about consent, boundaries, and healthy relationships. For young people with SEND, these conversations are especially important and can be introduced in simple, everyday ways.

Teaching consent is about helping your young person understand choice, personal space, saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’, and respecting themselves and others. These skills support confidence, safety, and positive relationships as they grow.

Using clear language, visual supports, and real-life examples can make these discussions easier and more meaningful. Small, ongoing conversations can make a big difference.

You’re not alone in these conversations, take a look at our post for support.

Ensuring your young person develops essential life skills is vital. We know many parents and carers often think about what will happen when they’re no longer around, and building independence can feel like a big step.

Life skills can be fun and meaningful while still supporting important learning - from searching for a recipe and planning what’s needed, to writing a list and shopping for ingredients…all before the cooking even begins!

Take a look at this tasty recipe to celebrate National Pizza Day!

At DOTS, we’re passionate about supporting young people and their right to education. We work hard to make sure the right support is identified and put in place for every individual.

We believe children and young people, and their families should be at the heart of every decision. By working together, we take a holistic, collaborative, and truly individualised approach.

Our focus is strengths-based, celebrating what each young person can do, creating inclusive environments, and removing barriers to learning.

Early intervention matters to us. We take a client-led approach and listen closely to parent carers, recognising them as the experts on their young people.

Have you noticed your young person moving in their seat, needing movement breaks in between tasks? We know that different seating supports offer different benefits from promoting postural alignment, to sensory regulation, and comfort. When seating meets your young person’s needs, attention and participation often follow.

We love sharing positive stories.

Ethan’s story shows how Occupational Therapy can make a real difference when children are supported in ways that work for them. By setting clear goals together and gently tracking progress, the RCOT demonstrate meaningful changes that matter to Ethan and his family.

Measuring outcomes helps us understand what’s helping, celebrate progress (big and small), and make sure support stays right for your child.

Every step forward counts…and Ethan’s journey is a reminder of that.

Being a parent carer comes with many challenges and unpredictable situations. That’s why Blue Monday is the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and focus on your own well-being.

It might be as simple as grabbing a cuppa and taking a moment to consider how you can prioritise self-care. It might be setting boundaries, reaching out for support, or simply allowing yourself time to recharge. Looking after yourself is essential not only for your well-being but also for supporting those you care for.

Reach out if you need support; we are always here to listen.
