Equipment required...please advice needed

fostermummy

Hello all,

Pleased I found this group! I have been a foster carer for yonks but recently have a little one aged 2 1/2  who is thought to be autistic ( am stamping feet for more details ;) )

But, next week need to talk to social workers etc about equipment to make life easier for babe and me! He is now in third cot....having broken/eaten/destroyed the others, is there a heavy duty cot out there? he also headbangs, helmet? He strips at night...worried about cold and him discovering nappy (again) clothes that do up at back? He manages to escape from carseat?

So....all the above and more!

Really grateful for any advice ta xxx
