What we offer

Services

How we stand alongside families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in Greater Manchester.

  • Helpline & Advocacy

    Parents and carers

    One-to-one guidance for parents and carers, helping them to understand and navigate the SEND system and secure the appropriate support for their child or young person with SEND, from birth to age 25.

    How advocacy works

  • Parent Support Groups

    Parents and carers

    A welcoming space for parents and carers of children with autism to connect with others who understand. With experienced professionals on hand to offer guidance, parents and carers can share advice, support one another and feel less alone.

  • Sibling Support
