Hi, just wondering if anyone else has a disability and kids- mine are primary and secondary school ages. I'd love to connect with people who are in the same position as me. I'm feeling pretty lonely right now!

    Hello @Sophleeds

    I'm sorry to hear you are feeling pretty lonely. There is a lot of parents on the community with their own disability and children, so you've come to the right place. Is their any specific support I can help you with, as well as wanting to connect with other parents?

    It may also be worth exploring your local offer. This a website that has information on all things disability in the area you live, such as social care information and also information about local support groups for parents and families.

    Hi

    I'm an sen parent, ls28. Both boys primary. Oldest struggling in mainstream and ehcp ongoing so are planning on homeschooling. Hoping to find some social groups for him so he can connect/relate to other peers.

    Welcome to the community @laurajm

    Glad to hear you are working through an EHCP for support, they should hopefully be able to signpost to some social groups you can access, but you may find exploring your local offer helpful too.

    Good luck with the EHCP 😊
