Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m the founder, owner and creator of Needs Recommendation. It is all just me. I am a mum who has spent the last 18.5 years seeking and making recommendations for anything and everything that concerns my child’s multiple sensory and physical needs diagnosis. Having worked within the childrens’ charity sector for the past decade, and from the many appointments i’ve attended, as well as some legal wrangling’s on behalf of my child, i’ve learnt who to trust, what to ask, what will work, what won’t work and who/which service/activity/venue etc is golden to my child’s life. I’ve also noted that i’ve gone on to share this information countless number of times as well as asked for it. Conversations in Waiting Rooms, in shop queues, in school Play Grounds have also shown me, the absolute best information is from others with similar experiences to ourselves and that it’s often by complete chance that you arrive at this golden information, for example shared by a stranger at a charity event for people with specific disabilities etc. And basically, that seems unfair to me. We of all people, do not have time for endless searching of what might work for ourselves or our children or those we are carers too. I’ve only ever been keen on ‘personal’ recommendations, rather than something random i find online that might fit my child’s set of specific needs but probably won’t (don’t get me started…).
So here we are. Needs Recommendation. Join me in sharing the GOOD information. What has worked (not what hasn’t, we all know there is too much of that!). Make life easier for someone else and as the individual with disabilities and/or needs grows, keep up to date as to what may work in their individual futures.
Thanks for reading. Am looking forward to building this directory for all.
