cheap sensory toys


Announcement

Families who have children and young people with special needs very often deal with similar life styles. We have all had concerns ranging from education,acess to services,respite and other issues directly related to their childrens needs. Parents of disabled children bring families together for friendship, to share information and to support one another.

The forum was created by parents who have children with special needs and is run by parents so we are all in this together. With us you will realise you are not alone

Parents of disabled children launched in October 2009 and we are growing day by day and are fastly becoming a major support resource for all

i thought the idea of direct payments was you got to choose where it was spent? that sounds more like respite

There comes a point in your life when you realize:Who matters,Who never did,Who won't anymore...And who always will..
So, don't worry about people from your past,there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

It does doesnt it!
Maybe they have just allocated a set amount of hours a week or something?

i know here its a standard 16 hrs a month according to the care plan they hand out Smile so they do tend to give a certain amount of hours depending on need (m8 got 20hrs a month) but it is rare that they tell you how to spend it, they did tell me i needed to use 8 hours for outreach worker as they use 2 but would only pay for 1 if i accepted direct payments but it had never been heard of before when i asked about it.
