Family Feedback
"I started attending Senspace parents meetings in January 2022 and its the best decision I made for my family. We have 3 boys 2 of whom are autistic, our youngest is non speaking and has a severe learning disability. We have received no support from anywhere other than following groups on Facebook with other and were really struggling with the boys needs. Senspace has been amazing, so many parents who can share experience and help us figure out how to help our children. We have a WhatsApp group of parents who attend and this has been invaluable to us, the knowledge and support have helped us so much and given us strength to fight for services our boys are entitled to such as grants for equipment or adaptations, access to the disability social work team and DLA. The parent groups are a place to vent, laugh, cry and put the world to rights, I don't always get to attend because of work but when i do it makes me realise we aren't alone and even if the group can't help with what we are going through, they are there to listen or direct us to someone who can. I can't thank Vikki and Julie enough for what they are doing." ❤️
"I can't thank Vikki, Julie and all the parents enough for the support, love, care and advice that has been freely and non judgmentally given to me. I am a mum of 2 young adoptive siblings. My eldest has additional needs. Family life had become a struggle. There was more sadness and anger instead of happiness and fun. I was lost. I felt like I had been asking for help for years. I felt broken. Then I reached out to Sen Space and slowly but surely I began to climb out of the hole I had fallen into. This support group just keeps on giving. No matter what the challenge is, there is someone who has had a similar life experience that you can learn from. We are all parents trying to ensure we do the best for our children. It is much easier to do that when you know you have an army of parents to support you. Thank you Sen Space ❤❤❤"
"For me SEN Space has become a positive part of our everyday! A place I know I can turn when I need advice and support! The WhatsApp group chat had been invaluable! SEN Space has brought together a range of parents with a range of experience and knowledge,who armour each other with great advice,love and support! All in real time! It has filled a social void that was missing my life! It's been a comforting place I can go and speak without judgement and come away with a fresh new outlook on things armed with more knowledge than I went with. The coffee mornings are so much fun..a lovely opportunity to make time for yourself with buns, bingo, yoga, pizza making to name a few! With them being weekly it creates the opportunity to regularly maintain friendship and make time to take time for yourself, as a carer its hard to maintain that,but knowing their doors are open is comforting! I cannot wait until my son can experience the opportunities that Vikki and Julie have created. A chance at making friends and memories xx"
"SEN Space has been a lifeline for me in many ways. The parent support group is next too none. I really enjoy just being able too meet up with other parents in similar situations to myself and share advice and guidance. The group has now became like my best friends and when I'm unsure off something or have anything I would like too share that I feel would be beneficial, they are the first people I turn too. I no longer feel that I'm on this journey alone and to me that is everything!"
