So, as a way of moving forward and living alongside Covid a lot of companies and organisations have started to deliver online training and services in the form of webinars. So I have signed up!! I am taking charge and doing as many as I can and taking advantage of not having to leave home to attend things. Which is fantastic! Naturally. So far i’ve done one with Yvonne Newbold about conflict in send families, There is another one next week, I may not be able to join that one as we have a lot on. Then next Saturday there is one on sensory processing, looking forward to that one. And finally, there is one on PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) on the 11th June, that is with sunshine support.

I’ve got a couple of books to read and review, however, I am currently in the final months of my postgrad degree so some things will have to wait! It will be so nice when it is complete so that I can then fully concentrate on this site, and build it up too. The blog and the social media also! I don’t think you fully realise the extent of what running community pages means until you actually do it. It’s a lot of responsibility to get things right and be accountable for what you post. the content. And I am hoping not to screw that up!!

Still no news on the tribunal, but as always, little glimmers of hope. Charlie took it upon himself to write in my notebook yesterday and copy the words down from a list I had written and tick them off. It is a really small thing but to us it means the world as Charlie never writes for himself and it's a huge milestone for him regardless.

I’ve abandoned my plans for a summer house, that would serve the purpose of a therapy room for Charlie and have all the equipment that I continuously buy for him. It all comes from OT recommendations and all serves the purpose for his sensory needs. However, after a long think and all the extra money I would have to put into the project, I decided that it was not worth it. I have now decided that we will buy some very much needed play equipment for our garden that we had done last year.

Every year (2 years so far) I apply for the family fund, and this year I have decided to use it for the play equipment, I will write another blog post specifically on the family fund so that it is easier to find and link to things.

Will update as soon as I am able to regarding the webinars.

Stay safe
