• Direct work with disabled young people - including specialist youth groups (including drama), short breaks for disabled young people both community based and residential, transition support and their national youth inclusion network.
• Support for parents of disabled children and young people - including parent partnerships, parent forums, training for parents (eg Makaton), key working, and their London mediation service
• Support for siblings of disabled children and young carers - including siblings groups, young carers groups and the inclusion of siblings in KIDS playgrounds.
