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

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.

i think it was £260 (sorry it was few month ago and without going into bank account i rarely remember anything hehe) and its for the whole year as you can only apply once a year and it gets paid in one lump sum but you have to keep receipts to show what you spent it on (again something thats hard for us as not all cafe's give reciepts and thats only thing we can prove on a day out so we take plenty of pics Big Grin

The cafes can hand write a receipt usually if you ask Smile
