Daily Living

Every Little Champion deserves to lead an active and full life and sometimes achieving this requires additional support.

Support may come in the form of equipment, input on education or toilet training, or some simple inside knowledge on the best places to visit.

Equipment
There is a huge range of equipment on the market designed to make the life of your Little Champion easier.
Assistive Technology
At RWK Goodman we work with chartered electronics engineers in the field of assistive technology who advise us on the best and latest technologies on the market.
Toilet Training and Continence
Continence is not everyone’s favourite subject but it can have a massive impact on quality of life, and all children should receive support to achieve their maximum continence potential.
Education
Sometimes Little Champions require additional support to help them learn.
Staying active and getting out
Getting out and about can present challenges to some Little Champions. This is when some inside knowledge can make all the difference.
Holidays
Finding suitable holiday accommodation for the whole family can be challenging.
