[email protected] Phone: 053 9421374 Dear Service Provider “Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People is a National directive whose aim is to provide one clear pathway to services for all children and young people with a disability, focusing on the needs of the child/young person and their family”. As part of this directive the HSE formed a Local Implementation Group comprising of HSE personnel involved in the delivery of Paediatric Services. Parent, Department of Education and Section 39 Voluntary agency representatives will also become involved in this process as we move forward. While reviewing current service provision it became apparent that there was a lack of awareness of all the support services that are available for children and their parents in the Wexford area. In order to address this deficit we have put together the attached directory of local supports both Voluntary and HSE run in County Wexford. This directory includes: Parenting Programmes Advocacy Groups Mother and Toddler Groups National Disability Organisations This list while comprehensive is not an exhaustive therefore we would appreciate it if you could inform us of any new developments or groups which may not have been included. We would be grateful if you could distribute this directory to any group or parent whom you feel would benefit from the information. Yours Faithfully Lucy O’Hagan and Louise Smyth Local Leads Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People Directory of Wexford Parenting Programmes – October 2013 1 Directory of Parent Supports in Wexford Developed by: Louise Smyth L.O/EIT Lucy O’Hagan Senior SLT Disclaimer Information, contact names, telephone numbers, addresses and web links provided in this Directory are for your convenience only and should not be considered as official, endorsed or recommended.
