Local and national support
Information on local and national support for neurodivergent children and young people.
There are lots of local and national organisations that can provide information, advice and support for neurodivergent children and young people and their families. We have information about the support available for families of children and young people with SEND on the SEND Local Offer and also Who to contact for advice and guidance.
Below are lists of local groups that Worcestershire parents have found helpful. Please note this information is provided for sign-posting purposes only, the groups are run by outside providers, organisations and charities and not provided by us. While we attempt to ensure all information here is accurate, we cannot accept any responsibility for third party websites. Their inclusion here is for your information only and does not represent endorsement or recommendation by the council.
We have included links and information which parent carers and other professionals have made us aware of, if you know of any other information and websites, that you have found particularly helpful, please email the information to Localoffer@worcestershire.gov.uk.
Local support organisations
On the Local Offer there is a directory of Support groups for parents and carers, some of which are aimed at parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people.
Herefordshire and Worcestershire SENDIASS have a dedicated team of advisors offering legally based and easily accessible information and advice about special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). They offer support for parents, carers, children and young people with SEND and our service is impartial and confidential.
