If you’re the parent or carer of a child with learning difficulties, this specially produced guide provides all the essential information you need to guide them through life. What to do? Where to go? Who to listen to? Who not to listen to? And what rights does your child have to ensure they have a decent start to life in today’s society?

Introducing our new resource for parents and carers, we have brought together our  “Top 10 Tips” for coping with some of the issues that parents and carers will encounter supporting a child with learning difficulties.  We hope it is a useful starting point on your journey. 

Positive engagement with and for families of children with learning difficulties.

Nell and Dinah from our Direct Help and Support team gave a workshop at the national STEP teachers’ Conference in Stirling. We spoke from our experience of supporting parents and carers, and suggested ways for professionals to achieve positive engagement.
