Medication & Appointments

Why track medications for SEND children?

Managing medication for an autistic or ADHD child often involves more complexity than a single daily tablet. Doses may change as the child grows, multiple medications may need to be taken at different times, and some medications require careful monitoring of side effects. Having a clear, consistent log makes it easier to spot patterns — whether a medication is working, whether side effects cluster at certain times, and whether doses have been given when the routine is disrupted.

Keeping track of SEND appointments

Children with SEND often have multiple professionals involved in their care — paediatricians, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, educational psychologists, and more. Keeping track of who said what, when the next review is, and what needs to happen before the next appointment is genuinely difficult across a busy family life. A simple appointment log in one place means nothing gets missed and you arrive at each appointment prepared.
