Another two enjoyable and productive speaking events with Chester and Cheshire West Council.  Sharing our experience to demonstrate that working together creates really positive outcomes.

I  talked about recognising and understanding the pressures that families with children / young people with additional needs can face. We explored  how understanding the needs of the child / young person and the family, and offering  appropriate and timely intervention  can make a huge difference. Where support has worked well the needs of all members have been met. As a family we have had challenges along the way, but a positive attitude, resilience and determination has helped us along the way. 

My 19 son spoke about his achievements in all aspects of his life.  Despite having a brain haemorrhage in the hours after he was born, he has grabbed life and seized every opportunity.  He engaged the audience with his positive and humorous outlook,  his determination to strive for independence and lead an ordinary life.

 We both felt privileged to be able to share our experiences to help shape future services.
