Koala North West exists to provide children and their families with tailored practical and emotional support that improves wellbeing, reduces isolation and supports both children and caregivers to thrive.
Supporting parents of children with a neurodiverse condition by offering a wide range of support services. Helping families to cope with the emotional rollercoaster of parenting, as well as the practical implications of having a child with additional needs.
‘Empower Us’ offers a safe space to share our experiences and knowledge, whilst learning from each other.
We offer a wide range of support services including:
In-home support
A complex needs coordinator can visit you at home and offer: a listening and non-judgemental ear, practical support, tips on how to play and interact with your child, sensory stimulation, company and fun activities.
Walk and Talk sessions
These are offered at a variety of local attractions and parks, allowing you to reintegrate yourself into your local community with confidence.
Access to resources/information events
We offer visual timetables, Makaton signing packs, speech and language programmes, fun-filled activity packs, and much more – all delivered to your door. We also host parent information evenings, covering such topics as: making sense of the senses, reducing meltdowns, and food for thought.
One-to-one support
Our coordinators can share tips and techniques on how to progress your child’s development, whilst allowing you the opportunity to discuss your feelings and concerns.
Emotional/Practical Support at our stay and play
We understand how isolating parenting can be. Having an understanding adult to talk to can turn your day around. We offer emotional support face-to-face. Here you can build up peer support with other families in similar situations. There will be topic talks to share tips in areas such as meltdowns, and calming strategies. Whatever works for you and your family, we are here to support you.
