My Futures – Progress Pathways & Young Person Support
- Create and review small-step progress goals Break long-term objectives into clear, achievable steps. Staff track these weekly, celebrate micro-wins, and adjust the plan when a young person’s needs, mood or circumstances shift.
- Co-produce personalised pathways Work directly with each young person and their family to shape a pathway that reflects their interests, strengths, sensory needs and EHCP outcomes. Ensure the plan feels realistic, meaningful and motivating for them.
- Deliver structured, consistent support Provide calm, predictable routines during sessions, using our My Futures model to build regulation, communication, independence and social confidence. Staff use evidence-based strategies and adapt on the spot when needed.
- Monitor engagement and emotional presentation Notice small behavioural cues, track patterns, and respond early. Staff maintain a reflective approach—what worked, what didn’t, and what adaptations might help next time.
- Record progress with clarity and accuracy Keep high-quality notes, attendance, and progress updates.
- Use the young person’s voice to guide decisions Check in regularly, offer choices, gather feedback in accessible ways, and ensure the pathway truly reflects their preferences and pace—not just the adults’ expectations.
- Work collaboratively with families and professionals Maintain open communication, provide updates, and involve parents/carers in shaping what each young person needs. Link sessions back to their EHCP and wider support network.
