A range of services is available for children with disabilities and their families or carers. Services can be arranged once a social worker has assessed your child's needs. Your needs as a carer can also be assessed.

The nature of the help arranged will depend upon the needs identified in the assessment but can include:-

• advice and counselling
• home based support
• short breaks
• help with equipment and adaptations

We will work closely with health services and schools.
