Parents And Carers

Direct Help and Support

Happy Child

As a parent or carer of a neurodivergent child, we understand that finding the right support can be challenging. Our Family Advice and Outreach Specialists are here to provide personalised guidance and information to meet your unique needs.

What We Do

We provide support to parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people up to the age of 25, regardless of diagnosis – or no diagnosis. Our services are tailored to your specific needs, and we work across Scotland to offer advice, information, and practical and emotional support.

We Can Help With:

  • Meetings and communication with professionals.
  • Accessing information and resources.
  • Navigating education, social work, and healthcare processes.
  • Finding ways to resolve difficult situations and developing skills for the future.

What to Expect

  • When you contact us, one of our team will gather some information and set up an email or phone appointment with a Family Advice Specialist.
  • Our Family Advice Specialist will listen to your concerns and suggest next steps. They can provide ongoing support via phone or email if needed.
  • You may be referred to our Family Outreach Specialists, who will create a personalised plan with you.
