A quiet place
while you wait.
Underneath is for parents and carers of children with additional needs, especially during the long SEND pre-assessment wait. Log small daily observations, spot patterns in behaviour, and find gentle support on the days that feel heavy.
Waiting can feel endless and isolating. This is a way to make that time calmer, clearer, and a little less alone.

Name it gently
"Something felt hard today. You don't have to explain, I'm right here."

SaveYou're not on this waiting list alone.
Underneath is a calm companion for parents and carers of children with additional needs, especially in the long, uncertain months of the SEND pre-assessment wait. Here's what this space is (and isn't).
Who it's for
Parent-carers holding it all together at home while you wait for assessments, appointments, or answers. No jargon. No judgement.
What you can do here
Log small observations in under a minute, spot patterns that are easy to miss in the middle of it all, and follow a gentle 8-week support plan, plus warm, emotional support when the day is heavy.
Why it matters
The wait can feel invisible. Little notes now become a clearer picture later, for you, and for the professionals who'll eventually meet your child.
What it isn't
Not a diagnosis. Not legal or medical advice. Not a replacement for your team. A gentle place to think, for support, not answers you have to trust blindly.
Behaviour Check-in
Quick and easy in the moment.
Emotional Pattern Spotting
AI finds patterns humans may miss.
Personalised Support
Clear suggestions for what to do next.
Progress Tracking

A real moment, from frustration to repair.
Three minutes. One bedtime meltdown. Here's what Sam saw on Tuesday evening.
Tonight, 7:42 pm
What just happened?
Mia threw her toothbrush and slammed the bathroom door when I said it was time for pyjamas. She's been quiet since dinner.
How did you feel?
Step 1 of 3
ContinueLikely going on
Mia is past her capacity for the day. The toothbrush wasn't the problem, it was the last small ask after a hard one.
About her
Slamming the door is how she's saying "I can't take one more thing."
About you
Feeling guilty doesn't mean you did anything wrong. You're tired too.
Step 2 of 3
Show me what to doIn the next 10 minutes
Drop the demand. Re-open the door.
Try saying
"We can skip teeth tonight. I'm going to sit outside your door for a minute, you don't have to talk."
Then, when it's quieter
"Something felt really hard tonight. I'm not upset. Can I come in?"
Tomorrow's nudge
Watch the 6–7 pm window. This is the third Tuesday it's tipped over.
