Local and national charities supporting parents of children and young people with SEND

There are many local and national charities. Some specialise in certain types of disability e.g. Autism, Down Syndrome and they often have very useful guidance for parents and carers. Others specialise in carers or disabled rights for both young people and adults. Often these charities have local support groups where parents and carers can share their experiences.
