Hi, we are parents of 2 children, our 4 year old daughter Jessica, & 16 month old Edward who was recently diagnosed with polymicrogyria (PMG). He is currently around a 5 month level developmentally & coming to terms with the diagnosis & uncertainty of his future is proving really difficult ? it will be good to hear from other parents of children with disability. We are in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Xx

Hi @Heather85. I know you have said in your post that you would like to speak to other parents of disabled children, but there is also support if you need it from a new Scope service.
I am a parent advisor for a service for parents who have recently had a child diagnosed with a disability or impairment or going through diagnosis. This support is over a period of six weeks and we are there to support the parent with any emotional issues or practical support that we can offer. We have a link to a referral form and also a telephone number for you to contact - http://www.scope.org.uk/navigate or phone 0808 801 0510 or email navigate@scope.org.uk.
I hope that we can support you if you feel this would be beneficial.

Hi @Heather85. I am a mum of a 2 and 4 year old but it is actually my younger sister (now 32) who has polymicrogyria. I am living in Hertfordshire. Feel free to connect if I can help. I have recently set up polymicrogyria research website as I am a medical researcher and hoping to do more research and raise the profile of this condition: but on a personal level as a mum and sister don't hesitate to connect.
