☀️While the summer holidays are often thought of as a joyful time full of play and adventure, we know for some families this sadly is not always the case. For families who have children with additional needs the summer holidays means places are more crowded, routines are disrupted, and the regular support system of school disappears. To help with this, we thought we would highlight a few provisions that are available for children and families with SEND over the summer period, and more widely promote some organisations that do fantastic work throughout the year☀️
thelearningandplayhub The Learning and Play Hub is based in Tooting and offers a range of bespoke 1-1 and group sessions that are tailored for children and young people who are neurodiverse or SEND. Sessions run both in term time and the school holidays and have a focus on meeting the child where they are to help nurture a range of skills such as communication, language, and emotional development
senunitycic Day based summer camps in Roehampton & Twickenham for children with SEND and their siblings. SEN Unity provide a range of support across the whole year and are an amazing organisation to know about.
a2ndvoicecic This organisation supports autistic people and their families across the city of London. They are offering a range of events over July and August which are tailored to children, adolescents, and young adults who are neurodiverse.
Wandsworth Local Council: There are several forms of support for families and children with SEND available through Wandsworth Council. This includes a parent/ carer support group, short break schemes, holiday activities, and much more. This can be found through the Family Information Service page on their website
