Contact (helpline for families with disabled children)
If you are a parent or carer of a disabled child aged from birth to 25, you can call a free advice and information helpline. You do not need a diagnosis.
Good to know
The helpline is free. You may have to wait to speak to an adviser. The site says it is busiest between 10am and 11.30am, 1pm and 2pm, and 4pm and 5pm. For emotional support, they offer a separate Listening Ear telephone service by appointment.
