Information About Therapists,
Medicines & Support
It can often feel like a real struggle to get the information you really need about your child’s condition and treatment. Consultants will baffle you with jargon, and Google will not filter out the bogus information from the really helpful stuff.
Click on the buttons at the top of this page and you’ll find links to trustworthy information about specific conditions, treatments and medications. You’ll also find out about emotional support that's available for the whole family, including grandparents and siblings. There are also links about hospices, and how to find a therapist – whether that’s a play therapist or an educational physiologist. We hope this helps you find what you need.
