PinPoint Neurodiverse Child Booklet

Supporting your Neurodiverse Child digital booklet.

Pinpoint is grateful to have worked with their champions, parent/carers, professionals and partners across
health, education and social care to produce the ‘Supporting Your Neurodiverse Child’ digital booklet.
The booklet is packed full of useful information for families wherever they are on their journey with neurodiversity.

Pinpoint Cambridgeshire is not only run for parents, but also by parents.

They give help and information to parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and/or additional needs, as well as give parent carers opportunities to have a say and get involved in improving local services.

No formal diagnosis is required in order to access support from Pinpoint, for example, a child may be on a waiting list, accessing services, had a referral turned down, or just be struggling.

    

SENDIASS stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice and Support Service.

It’s a free, impartial, and confidential service offering information to young people with special educational
needs and disabilities (SEND) and to their parents and carers.

Spectrum is passionate about the work they do with families and carers of children with Autism, additional needs and disabilities. They provide that support in many ways. Their charity provides ongoing support for children from birth to 18 years of age- families do not need an ‘official’ diagnosis to access their resources; they just need to be registered with them. The membership is free.

We are paediatricians working in the Cambridgeshire community. We can help your family to best understand your child's medical needs. Together we can reach a conclusion that best describes your child's challenges and strengths to enable your family as well as health, education and social care services to best understand and support your child's needs. We are only able to see children in a clinic setting who meet our referral criteria.

We are a local registered charity who are actively seeking to improve services in all areas of the lives of children and young people with disabilities or additional needs. We are here for Parents and Carers of children and young people aged 0—25 years with a disability or additional needs.

We aim to work together with professionals and parents so that the services for our children and young people meet their needs. Putting parent carers and their children at the centre and helping them to be heard .

When your child has a disability, one type of education definitely doesn't fit all. Whether your child currently attends mainstream school, special school, is home educated or is facing an important transition, we have guidance and support to navigate those big decisions

 

 

 

 

Too many families in the UK live every day with feelings of isolation, exclusion, judgement, stress and anxiety because the world around us is not set-up to help their children live life to their full potential.

Little Miracles exists to help everybody experience the joy that comes with a family. A place of friendship, understanding and safety where happy memories are made.

We are a charity that supports families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.
