Skylarks has made a huge difference - seeing other children who also have difficulties has helped my daughter to realise that she is not alone by being ‘different‘
You do not need a diagnosis or referral to join us, and whilst we are based in Richmond-upon-Thames, there are no geographical limitations for our members. Anyone from anywhere is welcome!
We offer opportunities for the children and their siblings to play, develop and access therapies and activities.
We provide information and support for their families and carers, all under one roof, at the same time.
