Local branches help families with early intervention, like speech therapy.

Our Early Intervention Officer can help branches with services for young children.

Our Education Officer can help families with children in school.

Some branches run adult education courses, with support from our National Education Officer.

Sometimes people need extra support. Our Adult Advocacy Officer may be able to help.
