Donaldson's & NDCS 'Open Door' Sessions
- Thursday 2nd October, 2008, 10am - 1pm

- Thursday 4th December, 10am - 1pm
Donaldson’s and the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) have announced the introduction of a new monthly support service for families of children who are deaf or have severe speech and language difficulties in central Scotland. The Open Door sessions, which will be held at Donaldson’s new school in Linlithgow, will offer parents and carers the opportunity to gain advice and support in dealing with day to day issues.
Run by experienced NDCS Family Officer, Marie Cafferky, the sessions will provide an essential lifeline for families and will also provide them with access to a number of other professionals. While NDCS currently provides one to one home-based support, this new service will ensure parents and carers have the opportunity to chat with a wide range of professionals regarding any issues they may have. The sessions also provide a valuable opportunity for parents to meet with other parents, socialise and share their own experiences over a coffee.
Open Door will initially be funded jointly by the two organisations and will be able to offer advice on topics such as: finance; help with benefits; medical support; education; and forthcoming events. Other local support organisations will also be invited to attend and parents and carers will be encouraged to suggest other topics of interest for future events.
Each Open Door session will run between 10am and 1pm on the first Thursday of every month commencing on Thursday 2 October.
To find out more about Open Door sessions contact NDCS Family Officer Marie Cafferky on 07800 972 002.
