There is a lot going on in the media lately to do with cuts affecting people with disabilities and their carers.
I know a lot of services are facing cuts but I really did think that a P.M who has experienced raising a child with disabilities would perhaps stand to protect them a little more.
Please take a look at this article, I find it heartbreaking to think that this lady has now reached such a crisis point that her only option is to consider residential care for her daughter.

And secondly, this article makes a very valid point about pulling services together for parents of children with disabilities. The more people who read this article the more likely it will get national recognition.

This isn't my blog, it's Zack's. Zack arrived here seven weeks early, he had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. He suffered catastrophic damage to his brain, he has cerebral palsy, problems with his hearing, vision and feeding. Our lives are both challenging and extraordinary. He is a gift. I hope that for whatever reason you find yourself reading this blog it can go some way to help those in the same situation and some way to remove the cloak that covers parenting a child with disabilities.
