Hi, You may have already been referred but if not ask about portage/kids. They run a developmental play session (DPS) for chidren with special needs on a Friday afternoon from 1PM to 3PM (it is invitation only though). My son used to attend and it is wonderful, both for the children and the parent (a great way to meet other parents who have children with special needs). Our developmental paed made the referral but I think it can be any health worker (health visitor/phsio etc).
