Allens Croft Child Development Centre

When my daughter was 3 her nursery turned her down because of her behaviour. Health visitor was wonderful and helped us to get diagnosis for autism. However this process took a long time, over 6 months. Paediatrician at Allens croft health visiting team was great but we only saw him once. The health visitor or staff at Allens croft never told me that I may be able to get support from social services. I think what we need more is people teaching people, like speech therapist helping parents. Then we can help our children. Peer support and information is missing. I am ok as I can do my research, but what about those who can’t. Health visitor could have told me about social services support.
