Families with Disabled Children

Information for Families with Disabled Children

Finding out that your child has a disability can be difficult and bewildering. Parents need support, information and advice which is tailored specifically to meet their needs. You may not know where to turn for information, advice and emotional support, especially when your child is first diagnosed as having a disability. You may be trying to cope with a whole range of feelings, as well as being constantly exhausted from the physical demands of parenting. However, there is a great deal of support out there, which you may not know about.
