Hi @alie,
Welcome to the community - I'm sorry to hear your son has had a car accident
I can imagine theres a lot going through you mind at the moment and probably not sure where to begin. Some of my team at the helpline worked with our content manager to produce an information product called 'Becoming Disabled' which is on our main website:
http://https//www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/becoming-disabled/overview
The idea behind this was to give some practical information for anyone new to the world of disability - hopefully this will be a helpful starting point for you.
Best wishes,
Kirsty

Hi @alie
Welcome to our online community/site.
I’m very very sorry to hear about your sons accident.
Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway???
I had my Stroke when I was in my 30’s & things where very bleak initially.
But with “Grit & Determination”
I managed to get myself going in some fashion in the end.
Please let me know if you need any “help/support” -
Thanks Steve51
