This donation will enable us to support more families with babies and toddlers who have very complex needs. There is little provision for these families elsewhere and so this weekly service is vital in giving new parents as many tools as possible to cope with and learn strategies to help their infant develop. We know early intervention is incredibly important in ensuring a baby or child can maximize their potential as they progress through our school and college in to their adult life. Our Stay and Play focuses on sensory strategies, early forms of nonverbal communication and support and signposting for parents who have been thrown in to a world that can be so confusing and isolating. We have now started to offer this service online and our goal is to reach any family in the UK that needs our help.
We can support up to 40 people per week in person at our session and unlimited numbers online, which is amazing. We are also looking to roll out our in person sessions to different geographical locations in 2021 (COVID dependent!).
