Links to sites and products particularly aimed at children with disabilities.
Like all children, disabled children need to move around independently and enjoy freedom to enable them to live full and active lives with their families and friends.
The NHS is often unable to provide the mobility equipment, training and
advice that they need. Looking after a disabled child can increase the
emotional and physical strain on families. Having to spend time and
effort to obtain mobility equipment and support services is an additional
stress that they really don't need.
This is where Whizz-Kidz comes in. We provide customised wheelchairs, tricycles and other specialised mobility equipment, wheelchair training, information and advice to change the lives of disabled children across the UK.
We are also working to raise awareness of the need of these children so that they get the support they deserve from the general public and from the Government.
Child Disability Help is aimed at providing vital support to families in the UK with a child or children up to 16 years of age with a disability.

Silver Cuckoo is an upbeat site, aiming to celebrate the differences and diversity of our children. This does not in any way detract from the very real difficulties they- and we- face in life. Being 'special' can mean trials and traumas but it can also be a unique and rewarding experience. Our children are truly amazing.
