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.
