When you receive news that your child has a disability – whether it’s during pregnancy, after birth, during the early years or in later life – you and your extended family may experience a range of emotions and thoughts.

The future may feel unsure. There is help and support for you and your family from a wide range of organisations.

This section gives guidance on the steps you can take after you receive a diagnosis of a disability, and information about other support that is available when and if you need it.

This website also has lots of resources for you to use, free of charge.
