Try out this FREE Summer Planner from Widgit Software 📆 ☀️
✅ Providing visual information in this way can help support understanding of what’s planned and when it’s happening 📆

The summer holidays are a welcome break from the usual routine. But for children who rely on structure, that sudden change of pace can feel a little unsettling. ☀️🗓️

Our free Summer Planner helps them understand what's coming up, whether you're planning days out, holiday clubs, family visits or quieter days at home. ⛱

Fill it in together, then pop it on the fridge or a notice board so everyone knows what's planned. A little predictability can make all the difference.
