Parent Information - Support group Directory

Introduction

The following directory contains information about support groups, both for parents of children with speech difficulties and for professionals involved in speech therapy. Our aim is to help people contact others in a similar situation, in their own area, or via the internet.

For this to work we need your help. We need to gather as much data as possible about parent support groups. I  also want to include information on  support groups where speech therapists and other related professionals can meet on the internet. If you attend a support group submit the details about the group below and we will add the information to the directory table as soon as possible.

We want to include parent support groups based in the UK and also internationally. I have also included two separate sections for internet support groups one for parents and one for professionals.

If you want to set up your own support group and are looking for ideas on how to do this why not try looking at our information in how to set up your own support group.
