Neurodevelopmental Support
We’re pleased to share that, together with Bolton Together and Woodbridge SEND Service, we have received new funding to create a new early support programme for Bolton parents and carers of children who may have neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and dyslexia.
This funding from Greater Manchester NHS is part of a wider plan to make sure families can get the right information and support as early as possible, from the point when concerns first arise. So if you are just starting to notice differences or are waiting for an assessment, this support is for you.
Bolton Together have 2 dedicated Navigators to provide guidance for families exploring autism, ADHD, and wider neurodiversity. They help families understand pathways, access appropriate support. For more information, visit www.bolton-together.org.uk/ithrive-for-neurodiversity

COMING SOON….
Parent Carer Support Sessions – Themed
We are developing a range of group sessions for parents to join that will combine a learning opportunity with the opportunity for conversation with other families. Our initial topics will be sleep, eating and toileting. We will pack the session with top tips and plenty of signposting.
Green Room Resource Hub
We are developing a collection of tools, aids and resources that are generally only found as online purchases, so that parents and carers can have a look and feel of products before making purchases. As parents of young adults with additional needs we have spent a fortune over the years on items that have never been used! We’ll have things like weighted blankets. fidget toys, books for children and parents and more.
