Based at our Centre, we have a dedicated team who are committed to helping families and supporting them through the complex issues that parents with disabled children face. We work in a family centred way, encompassing everyone within the family and being led by their needs, whether diagnosed or not.
Our Intensive Family Support will take families through assessment, support planning and moving on strategies including:
We also work in partnership with local and national organisations to ensure that families are provided with the best access to the right support at the right time for them.
