What We Do
Advocating Change
Its never easy being a special needs parent/carer. All we seem to do is fight for one thing or another for our children. It can be a daily struggle for alot of us. We all need to support each other, listen & help each other. Our children are similar in many ways but they also have very individual needs to each other too! What works for one won't for others ect. Us as parents just get on with day to day life because we have to...we didn't choose this life & we certainly didn't choose for our children to have the difficulties & obstacles they face on a daily basis either! No-one knows what we deal with as individuals apart from ourselves! Walk a mile in another's shoes! A smile can hide a broken soul. 😔 We do not judge! We do not take no for an answer , We do not quit!! We will STAND UP! Together! We know our kids the best. We see their true colours. We are their voice!

Kids have to be exposed to different things in order to develop. A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it…
