does anyone know of any groups who take disabled teens on hoiday?
My 16 year old would love a chance to get away from mum and dad(a weekend even,mum would worry!)
He is full time wheelchair user ith limited arm strength so would need personal care.

we are in n.ireland.

Hi Eagle

I live in N.Ireland too but dont personally know of anywhere.

There are two PRCT Centres in Northern Ireland , one in Newry and one in Belfast. They may be able to assist you in this.

Details :

PRCT Newry & Mourne
6 Savages Terrace
Corry Square
Newry

028 3026 7015

www.carers-nm.org

PRCT Belfast
Suites 2-5
2nd Floor
Merrion Business Centre
58 Howard Street
Belfast

028 9043 4700

www.carerscentre.org

Don't know whereabouts you live in N.Ireland or whether these Centres have catchment areas, but they may be able to point you in right direction.

Also there is a link from this site "Taking a Holiday" and they have various organisations listed which may be able to help.

Hope this is useful.

Also if you come into the chat room sometime, there may be someone in who has some ideas.

Take care
