Children with disabilities - who do we help?

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 heath 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
