Summer holidays have arrived and for a lot of families this is an exciting opportunity to spend 6 weeks together having quality time and having lots of fun. For others it is not so straight forward. For children with additional needs 6 weeks out of normal routine or away from school/nursery can be very difficult and it can feel incredibly overwhelming and daunting for their families too.
We have put together this SEND Summer Survival Kit with some resources, links, tips, and strategies that may help to minimise the feeling of overwhelm and disruption during this time.
If you need support throughout the summer holidays, please do reach out to our Helpline on 0117 9359366. If you need support while we are closed for our summer break (4-17 Aug) please contact:
