There are resources around that can be useful and we have put together a directory for NSW families with a child who has additional needs or is in need of support, especially Autism, Down Syndrome, Global Delays, Launguage delays, Behavioural and Sensory issues, etc.

'The Journey' having a child with additional needs
Saturday, 21 November 2009

 

Parents of a child with an additional need usually find the journey through life often leaves them feeling alone. They know somewhere out there, there must be someone who has been through all this before and has some advice. This is why we set up this site, here is our advice - taken from experience of having a daughter with Down Syndrome and from the surrounding communities experiences I have asked to share with me. I hope it may be of benefit.

 

Whether your child has a mild, moderate or severe disability including developmental, intellectual, physical, sensory, learning or speech delay, each child and each experience teaches us a lot of lessons, many which we can share with the community around us. Just remember, you are foremost a parent, not a carer, and the joy of seeing your child do something for the first time is so much more rewarding as we start to understand their world just a little bit more each step. Take each day at a time and look for resources and support all around you as you really are not alone - get informed, feel empowered and be your childs best advocate.
