Hugo de Savary's – living with learning disabilities.

After a relaxing Christmas break we’ve already had a great start to 2012.  This week sees the launch of a new website and blog www.createdbyparents.com that my parents have set up to support other parents of children with learning disabilities.  My folks felt that even with the ever-expanding amount of information available on the internet, finding information and advice specific to the transition from Children’s Services to Adult Services for people with complex needs was just as difficult as when they went through it with Laura all those years ago.

This is a particularly hard time for parents, children, siblings and friends – they have to make decisions that can impact the whole family and potentially change their way of life that they have been used to for decades.  As someone turns 18 they become an adult and their rights change dramatically as do their wishes, dreams and goals.  My parents hope to be able to offer advice and guidance and a good dose of hindsight to families going through this.

Thanks in advance for your support and please do pass on the website to anyone else you think might be interested.

Have a great 2012!
