hi, i don't have a child with special needs myself, but i do work in special needs. you could try contacting sunshine house on peckham road. it's the place where all of the children's nhs services are held. i'm pretty sure they have parents' groups. you could also try your local children's centre (usually attached to schools) where they might be able to point you in the right direction.

i would go with a childminder if i were you, a good childminder is worth their weight in gold if you find the right one.

good luck!

contact a family are a great organisation, as well as providing information and support they can, as their name suggests, put you in touch with other families (with both parties permission).

They also have drop in advice sessions, Sunshine House being one of the locations

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
