The Contact a Family website is for families who have a disabled child and those who work with them or are interested to find out more about their needs. This part of the website tells you more about getting information, advice and support from our national office and in your area.

If you are a family member, find out more about the services and support that we offer. There's also a special area just for fathers.

If you work with families as a professional worker or you are a student, you can also find out how we can help and support you.

Other sections of this website may also be of interest. Particularly popular is our medical Directory which is probably the most visited source of independent information on specific conditions and rare disorders in the world. This unique resource has over 350 condition entries covering over 900 rare disorders ranging from Abdominal Exstrophies to XYY Syndrome.

If you are thinking about setting up or further developing a support group for families with disabled children, either in your area or a UK-wide group for families affected by a particular condition, we have a special section on help for parents' groups.
