How we can help

Answering enquiries
If you are a professional or student and have a specific query you can submit an online enquiry form.

Publications
As well as producing a wide range of publications, reports and parent guides, we also produce a guide for professionals and students, 'About families with disabled children', which gives an insight into the common needs and problems experienced by disabled children and their families. We also produce various publications for professionals such as the ‘health support pack’.

Providing information helps parents feel more knowledgeable and confident in managing their child’s condition and the impact it has on their daily life. Our ‘Promoting Self Care’ guide tells professionals about the information a family might need, enabling them to empower parents to access support.

We also produce Connected, our quarterly magazine. Professionals can subscribe to our magazine for £10 a year.
