The practioners
The practitioners leading the group will play with your child alongside you, and you can talk with them about your child's development.
They will provide ideas for play activities that could stimulate your child's development and/or they may signpost other appropriate services or support.
They can also provide some guidance around applications for Disability Living Allowance and charity grants to which you may be entitled.
There is a shared snack for those that want it.
Siblings up to the age of 8 are welcome at the groups in school holidays.
