Previously known as coffee mornings, our drop in advice sessions will be held across the city (any venue recommendations? Send them our way!). We want to get across what these sessions can be for, to make sure everyone can make the most of them. Feel free to drop in, ask questions, get signposted to available support services… and we’ll still have coffee and have a chat!
* Want info about schools?
* Want to know about the EHCP process?
* Want to know how to support communication needs, or any sensory difficulties?
We can help with a range of queries based on own life experiences of mainstream education, specialist schools, Direct Payments, challenging behaviours… and more!
Everyone welcome, no diagnosis necessary!
Paid membership of Sparkle Sheffield is not needed to attend our drop ins, just come along. Feel free to bring friends or family with you – the more the merrier!
