My son has a rare condition called Dravet Syndrome. He is nearly 3 1/2 and finding he is well looked after in the healthcare side for his seizure control, but as a parent you get very little support in the development delay and SEN side if things that are very common in this syndrome. I’m joining communities such as this to help educate myself so I can fight for what He needs. And also hopefully help others!

A warm welcome to the community from me too @SRose It's great to have you on board!
You're not the first parent we've heard say that, so you're certainly not alone in feeling that the support in that area is lacking. I'm sorry it's something you're experiencing.

What would you say the biggest barrier to getting your son the right support is at the moment?0 -
