There are many supports and services available to help children with special needs and their families, but finding them can be a bewildering task. On these pages we have grouped various types of information and services that are available to support people with disabilities and their families or carers. It is not an exhaustive list ... but a place to get started. Please contact our Family Support Officers for more information.

If you know of a useful website or resources that could help other families of children with special needs, please let us know.
