Our son was born just before 30 weeks and for his first year we assumed his physical development was delayed just as a result of his prematurity. However, when he was just over 18 months he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He’s received support from Seaside View to help progress his physical mobility as much as possible but the amazing work of the PRESEN service has also been invaluable to his development. For many parents of children with special needs there is an overwhelming maze of different teams to navigate. The PRESEN service have helped us focus on what our son needs and has been phenomenal at linking together all of the different parties to create a plan which works for him. Without our dedicated, and expert, PRESEN support, we would have struggled to coordinate the input required to get him to a mainstream pre-school, which is now setting the path for a smooth as possible transition into reception. Without this support, he wouldn’t have got the focus and understanding needed to do this and we wouldn’t have known the right questions to ask and when. The PRESEN service are ensuring he gets access to the same resources and education as his non-disabled peers and helping him to reach his full potential. Every child deserves this.
