Link helps you to have a coffee and chat and sometime for yourself where you can pick up ideas on ways to cope find out where to access information or pick up a book that may help with your child's condition. As you can see from the photo we have a laugh and a joke and don't have two heads. we are all parents/carers of additional needs children just as you are. We would like to welcome you into the group and hopefully help you along the way. we have a library of books and leaflets on lots of conditions that you can borrow and when needed a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear when needed.

NEWS

As well as the Parents Group we are trying to organise some Sibling events throughout the year. This would give the children in the family, that do not have special needs, a chance to get a day out without their brother/sister.

It is very hard for a special needs sibling to get the attention that they feel they need, as special needs children take up a lot of the parents time. We hope to give the siblings the chance to have a day to themselves and to be able to talk to other children in the same situation as themselves as well as give them some time out from the stress that they may feel at home.

We are updating the directory of services with the help of West Lothian Council and Carers of West Lothian and hope to have it printed by October of this year and also have it in other formats shortly afterwards.The Directory lists services and groups for children with additional needs and is still available at the moment in the old format. Please contact us for a copy.
