School is out, and finding things to keep children occupied during the long summer is hard enough if they are fit and well. But what about children who have special needs or disabilities? How do you accommodate them as well as their active siblings?
   

Contact a Family - the leading charity caring for children with any disability or special need - has produced a factsheet which gives useful information and ideas on holidays and activities for the families of children with disabilities.

A key problem faced by families is finding a holiday to suit everyone - the child with disabilities and their siblings. This new factsheet offers information to help stimulate all the

family. The factsheet covers a variety of essential issues, from insurance and equipment, to accommodation and travel. Different kinds of holidays are covered, including family holidays, group holidays and holidays for unaccompanied children and young adults.

The leaflet can be obtained by:
ringing CaF's national helpline on 0808 808 3555 or
writing to Contact a Family, 209-211 City Road, London, EC1V 1JN or
emailing helpline@cafamily.org.uk
