Parenting can be one of the most rewarding things you have done in your life but it does bring it challenges. Having a child with a disability brings another set of challenges, parents have more appointments with many different professionals. They often find that they have to fight for services and this can leave them worn out. Children with disabilities often have more challenging behaviour because of their disability and this can cause parents to feel exhausted and isolated.

Parents tell us that they feel less isolated, and how they value meeting with other parents in a similar situation.Parents have time and space to explore and adopt new behaviour strategies for their children.Parents gain new information about local and national services who provide support services, parenting advice and information about their child's disability.Parents feel more confident when meeting with health professionals, teachers and other professionals.
