Contact a Family - For Families With Disabled Children

As part of our 30th anniversary celebrations, we asked 30 families from across the UK whose children are affected by a range of disabilities to tell their story. We wanted to give parent carers a voice to talk about their achievements, acknowledge the challenges, reflect on their aspirations and fears for the futures, and above all to celebrate their family life.

As the stories show, families with disabled children are just like other families. They are making an enormous contribution to society and all they want is a little understanding from decision makers, budget holders and professional. They would also like recognition from society for the unique gifts and talent that their children bring - because of their disability.

A huge thank you to all the families for sharing their stories.
