Services for Disabled Children in Early Years

Local authorities and children's centres need to plan their services for disabled children and their families in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Local authorities and children's centres need to be aware of the Early Support programme when planning services for this group.

Early Support is the central government mechanism for achieving better coordinated family-focused services for very young disabled children and their families.
