Professionals

How you can help and support a family with a disabled child.

Here at Fledglings not only do we offer practical aids and supports to families direct but, as we are part of Contact (a family) we provide a multitude of support services too. Whether you are from a school, local authority, occupational therapist, hospital or medical practice we can help you help a child or family that you are working with.

With years of experience with professionals, we provide specialist products that help them support children and adults with additional needs. We help source those unusual items that are designed for specific needs, including learning resources, sensory toys, behavioural and communication aids, adaptive eating and drinking equipment for mealtimes and more.

We also offer FREE virtual coffee mornings for schools, parent carer forums or any group of parents that would like to get together and find out more. Please take a look at the virtual coffee morning page for more information.

Furthermore, every purchase from Fledglings directly helps Contact deliver vital services to families, including their helpline, workshops, expert information, as well as campaigning for better rights for families.
