Supporting a child or young person with additional needs or a neurodevelopmental need may pose questions that a parent or carer had not expected and we have heard from families that it can be helpful to seek advice, ask questions and discuss different experiences.
Our Salford Family Relationship practitioners offer a number of sessions to families which give the opportunity to consider approaches to supporting your child to learn new skills, feel supported in their emotional wellbeing and for parents/carers to feel supported in their role as a caregiver.
This online course is for all parents, grandparents and carers of children who may be neurodivergent, have a physical or learning disability. Building on the principles of nurturing emotional wellbeing shaped by the Solihull Approach, the course will help you to read and manage behaviour, develop your communication and support their development. The course can be translated into over 100 languages and also has an English language audio.
For technical support, please use our Support Form or call 0121 296 4448 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).
To access these sessions please complete your details via the universal relationships portal or contact us on 0161 686 7229. These sessions are available to Salford residents.

Group Triple P Stepping Stones has been developed for parents of children with a disability.
Stepping Stones Triple P has been evaluated with families of children with a range of disabilities (for example learning disability, autism, cerebral palsy) and elevated levels of disruptive behaviour.
This programme can benefit parents or caregivers of children with a disability (up to 12 years) who are interested in learning a broad-based range of parenting skills to promote child development and to manage challenging behaviours.
Parent and carers can request to join this group through an Early help request Salford Children and Families Portal or by ringing 0161 686 7229. You can also ask a professional who may be supporting your family to make this request on your behalf.
If you would like more information on parenting support offered in Salford then please contact your local family hub.
