The aim of this website is to provide you with as much information as possible, so that you can perhaps get some comfort that others have experienced similar issues, and importantly get help to tackle them. If you are having difficulty with getting support for you or your child (and family), then we hope to provide points of contact.

Everything is confidential and will be treated with respect. If we don’t have an answer, we will try and point you in the right direction.

We have been through hoops and over hurdles, many times falling over with the huge pressures that parenting a child with differences brings, but importantly, we have dusted ourselves down, picked ourselves up and found other ways to overcome the barriers.
