Two editable templates to help you share the right information about your child with new teachers, supply staff, and anyone else who needs to understand them quickly.
"Every September, I found myself re-explaining Ella from scratch to a new teacher. I wanted something I could hand over in the first week — something clear, practical, and actually useful. That's what these templates are."
New adults come into your child's life constantly — a new class teacher in September, a supply teacher on a Thursday, a new TA, a holiday club leader, a grandparent who's doing the school run for a term. Every time, you have to explain your child all over again, often in a hurry, often to someone who means well but doesn't know what to watch for.
These two templates exist to make that easier. Fill them in once, update them as your child changes, and hand them over whenever you need to. They're designed to be genuinely useful to the adults receiving them — not just a medical history, but a practical guide to this specific child, right now.
A structured one-page overview of your child's sensory needs across seven areas: sound, touch, movement, vision, smell and taste, body awareness, and internal signals. For each area you record what your child finds difficult and what already helps. Share it with any new adult who needs to understand your child's sensory world before they encounter a problem.
A one-page handout covering how your child communicates, the signs that they are getting overwhelmed, what helps and what makes things worse, their favourite topics and motivators, a plain do/don't quick-reference for adults, and emergency contacts. Designed to be handed directly to any new adult — folded in a school bag, attached to an EHCP, or emailed ahead of a new placement.
Each template is a standalone document with its own HOW TO USE section. Use them together for a complete picture of your child, or hand over just the one that fits the situation.
These are templates, not clinical assessments. They're designed to help parents share practical information about their child. They do not replace an OT sensory assessment, an EHCP, or any other professional report. For specialist support, contact your child's SENCO, occupational therapist, or IPSEA.
Two editable templates, plus printable PDF versions, for £3.99.
