Hi, my 6 year old daughter has cortical dysplasia with a monoplasia of her right leg. She is desperate to make a friend who wears a splint like she does. I know it's difficult in the current climate but does anyone know of any resources for disabled kids to meet people like them? We live in Yorkshire. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the community, hope you're well.
It's a strange one, you don't often hear of programmes designed to bring disabled children together, those sorts of things are only really aimed at adults, however I imagine they must be out there somewhere.
I'm also in Yorkshire, and when I was trying to find out how I could get involved with the local sight loss community I spoke with my local council, they had a list of all the activities in the area aimed towards visually impaired people and disabled people.
Might be a place to start.
Also, have you searched Facebook for support groups themed on your child's condition, members in there may also be able to adviseOnline Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
