WHAT WE DO
Making A Difference
RELAXED SOCIAL
&
LEISURE EXPERIENCES
Reduce social anxiety and have fun
It can sometimes, be difficult for children with additional needs to access social/public spaces.
So we are co-creating our own special world of fun.
Our relaxed, socially inclusive events aim to incorporate the entire family in the fun!
Including play at local parks, soft play, trampoline centres & holiday cinema days out.
Our holiday cinema trips have sensory aids available during the movie, plenty of space for wheelchair users & relaxed screenings to welcoming movement breaks.
At E=quivalent we want all families to have the opportunity to make SENDSATIONAL memories whilst supporting your child, young person or adult living with a special need.
FAMILY SUPPORT
WORKSHOPS & COFFEE MORNINGS
Improved understanding and awareness
You've heard it before "You must put on your own oxygen mask first".
This best describes what we aim to achieve through our work.
We want to support parents to meet their own needs too. We believe, by building resilience and acquiring skills that help to better manage our emotions when things may become difficult, we can achieve this.
Additional information is always available if you would like to learn more about understanding your child's needs and we may refer or signpost you to you to local services that can support this.
Our regular coffee mornings are always informative yet fun. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a lovey cuppa and a good chat.
SIGN POSTING AND INFORMATION
Help navigating families to support
Multiple services available to families on an individual needs, based approach.
We have access to professional advice relating to a number of different areas. There are also, highly requested, documents relating to schools within the borough supporting pupils with SEND and information about the process of getting an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) for your child.
Support through this service, is tailored to fit you, because we know very well, that 'a one size fits all' approach doesn't always work.
So please feel free to contact us, even if it's just to say hi.

LET'S TALK ABOUT AUTISM
Hi there, in this section we have information, specific to raising a child or young person with ASD or what we prefer to call ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition).
This can be helpful for anyone hoping to learn a little more about how Autism affects our children's experience of the world.
there is also advice given by parents, relating to what strategies worked well for their children. Sometimes they may not always work for your child, as they are unique and developing at their own rate, but it can handy to have strategies in your tool kit, for when your child is ready to try them out .

SEND COMMUNITY CARE & SUPPORT
LOCAL CHILDCARE
Leaving our children in the care of others can be such a huge step for a parent/carer. Whilst we understand that self-care is important, we must feel confident that our child's needs will be met in our absence.
We have compiled a list of children's carers, offered by a range of agencies.
*Please remember, always perform additional checks before agreeing any care arrangements with any agency or individuals.
IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE STRUGGLING
There are multiple organisations able to help depending on your situation. If you are struggling with your mental health, feel suicidal or just need to talk, call the Samaritans 116 123 or call 999 for an ambulance. Yes it's OK to call an ambulance if you're feeling this like this, help is just a call away.
