"Civilisation..... is the acceptance and the encouragement of differences" Mahatma Gandhi
Our ‘one-stop shop’ for information. The site has been planned/written by parents and funded by parent participation grant from Aiming High for Disabled Children (Southampton City Council). If you have information, events, organisations that you’d like to share with us please use the submit event link, email/phone us.
Contact Us. The local theme to the site will help plan what your family needs, solve problems, share issues, or just find out information.
Don't forget to register for our online Parent Carer Chat Forum (parent carers only). The ‘online support’ will help you manage the tricky parts of having a child with special/additional needs but also be able to celebrate your successes with other parents.
We can also help and advise those working with families who have disabled children/young people.

Featured Organisation
Nasen
Nasen is the leading organisation in the UK which aims to promote the education, training, advancement and development of all those with special and additional support needs. nasen reaches a huge readership through its journals: British Journal of Special Education, Support for Learning, new on-line publication Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs and the magazine Special.
Nasen formerly the National Association for Special Educational Needs was formed in 1992 when the National Association for Remedial Education (NARE) amalgamated with the National Council for Special Education (NCSE). This followed a decision by the two organisations to create a single, powerful voice to promote equal opportunities for all learners.
NCSE had its roots in special schools and was created in 1973 when the Association for Special Education merged with the Guild of Teachers of Backward Children and the College of Special Education. NARE began in 1963 and was largely inspired by those working in the remedial services developed in the 1950s. Nasen now operates at many levels and is open to all those who wish to advance the education of those with special needs
