Sometimes it can be hard to find the support you need...
Should you have a baby who has a disability or special need, you're certainly not alone. Essential Baby has a range of support groups where you can meet parents in a similar situation, ask advice, offer and receive support.
Whether it's due to your location, or the rarity of your child's condition, sometimes it can be hard to find the support you need. EB's Babies & Kids with special needs and disabilities forum houses a number of specialised buddy groups.
The groups offer support for parents of children with: Autism Spectrum Disorder, bowel disorders, hearing impairment, diabetes, cerebral palsy, Spina Bifida, immunodefiencies and more.
Participating in a forum can be a little daunting - especially if you've not participated in an online community before. But don't be shy! You'll find EB members extremely welcoming and helpful, and you may soon be wondering how you got by without them!
