West Northamptonshire Support Maps

Finding the Right Support

Noticing differences in your child’s development, having concerns about a particular area of need, or waiting for an assessment, diagnosis or outcome can feel worrying and sometimes overwhelming. Whatever stage you are at, it’s important to know that support is available for you and your child right now.

To make it easier for families to find the right help, the West Northamptonshire SEND and Alternative Provision Partnership has made three support maps. Each one brings together local services, resources and information. These lists show support that you and your child can use, whilst you wait for an outcome or initial assessment.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder & ADHD Support

Speech, Language & Communication Support

These lists of services are designed to give families clear, accessible information at a time when support can make a real difference. If you are waiting for an appointment, have early concerns, or need ideas to use at home, these services and resources can help you feel more supported and informed.
