S.P.A.C.E. is a parent support group for people who have children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) The support parents needed didn’t exist, so we created it and after all this time, we’re still here. We provide a place where parents and carers can meet others facing similar challenges. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at The Dog and Partridge on the A6 in Stockport.

Once you understand that your child’s brain works differently you can parent the child you have, not the child that the mainstream parenting books think you should have. Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can adapt. We’re the people who signpost to services you’ve never heard of.

We provide access to unbiased information and signpost to local services. Unlike most organisations there are no KPIs set for our charity. Our goal is to make sure that local parents of children with ADHD know that we exist. That’s it. No financial targets. No sponsorship deals. No social media targets. We’re the people who’ve been where you are. We’re your tribe if you want us.

What is SEN support?

SEN support is the extra help a child with special educational needs can receive at a mainstream school in England. Your child does not need a diagnosis to get it.

Schools must identify pupils who need support, do everything they reasonably can to provide it, and involve children and parents in planning and reviewing what helps. If a child continues to make little or no progress, the school should consider involving a specialist and discuss this with parents.

If you’re unsure what support your child is receiving, you can ask the school’s SENCO what’s in place and when it will be reviewed.
