We have to use resources for those in greatest need and this means we can only usually help children with permanent and substantial disabilities which includes those with:-

• severe learning disabilities
• severe physical disabilities
• profound multiple disabilities
• severe sensory impairment
• complex and severe health problems

We may sometimes be able to help children with less severe disabilities if:-

• a parent has a disability or chronic illness
• the impact on the family is severe
• a sibling also has moderate disabilities
