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.
