Targeted Plus guides cover strategies that work best alongside professional input — someone who knows your child and can help you tailor the approach. Specialist guides describe statutory processes where professional guidance is essential from the start. A free initial telephone consultation is a good place to begin if you're not sure which applies to your situation.
These guides are designed to be used independently, at home, without needing to check in with a professional first. Universal guides are pure information and awareness. Targeted guides give practical strategies that are safe to implement directly with your child.
