Advocacy and legal help for disabled people
An advocate is someone who can support and put a case forward on behalf of a person who may have difficulty in expressing themselves for any reason.
Childcare for disabled children
When it comes to choosing childcare and early education for a child that has additional needs or a disability, a lot of the considerations are the same as for any other child.
Integrated Disability Service (IDS) for Parents
IDS provides support for children and young people with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, communication difficulties (which includes pupils with autism spectrum and specific language disorders) and children with complex learning difficulties.
Help for the families of a disabled child
What other help is available in Warwickshire for the families of disabled children.
Holidays and breaks
There are a number of local and national organisations and companies who specialise in providing short breaks, holidays and holiday support to people who have a disability themselves or the parents and carers of disabled children.
Music therapy
Music therapy is a therapeutic treatment with the use of music as the primarily non-verbal intervention. It is based predominantly on improvised music in which the children/clients can express themselves, become aware of their feelings and interact more easily.
