I am eternally grateful to the society for the support provided, through my affiliation with the various groups. In a huge black hole, void of support and advice, WKAPSS is definitely a beacon!
Parent
Such a welcoming and extremely useful forum that makes you feel you are not alone and delivers time and again with advice, templates, anecdotes, opinions, links and steers to help you navigate the difficult journey of advocating for your child.
Ali,
mother of a teenage girl
I have found the WKAPSS WhatsApp chats to be incredibly helpful…
When I am having a bad day the support I have received from others in a similar situation has really helped me to feel less alone and to just keep going.
When I first got my daughter’s diagnoses it was an invaluable source of information and advice.
Thank you for everything you do.

WKAPSS has provided us with loads of useful contacts and resources. We also got help with a tricky section of our child’s EHCP at a recent seminar.
Thank you.
