Welcome to the A-buzz Parent Carer Forum website

"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.
