Are you the
parent or carer of a child with a disability or additional need?
Most parents will
tell you that raising children is often as challenging as it is
rewarding – but for those caring for children with learning and/or
physical disabilities, hands-on support and practical advice can
make all the difference.
To ensure families,
carers and professionals working with disabled children get the
advice and support they need, Scope, a national disability charity,
are holding a free Support and Information Day. The event is intended
to help families and carers of children with any learning or physical
disability, and is made up of a series of workshops covering
a wide range of topics including –
·
sleep management
·
diet and nutrition
·
education and career
opportunities
·
communication impairments
·
financial planning
·
birth injury
·
compensation support
Private one-to-one
meetings with all speakers will also be available, together with
an opportunity to discuss acquired brain injury legal issues.
Flexibility
is key and people are invited to attend
for all or part of the day’s events at their convenience. Lunch
and refreshments are included as well as the chance to network
with others in similar circumstances. Many charities and local
support and activity groups will be available on the day providing
useful advice and literature. Display stands and information will
be available from Carers Gloucestershire, Scope Response, Connexions,
Penderels Trust, Active Gloucestershire, Albert Goodman Accountants,
Gloucestershire Children with Disabilities, Gloucestershire Disabled
Afloat Riverboats Trust and many more. You are more than welcome
to pop in just to collect some literature!
