How Little Miracles Can Support Families of Children with Disabilities

Our Family Support team has extensive experience guiding families through the often complex and ever-changing world of disability support. If you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed, you are not alone—we’re here to help you navigate challenges and access the right services for your family.

Our goal is to provide practical, emotional, and educational support so that your family has everything they need.

• Access Benefits and Financial Support

We help families access financial entitlements by carrying out a full benefits review and guiding you through applications for Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Family Fund grants.

We also provide assistance with re-applications, benefit appeals, and tribunals, ensuring your family receives all the support it is entitled to.

• Connect You with the Right Disability Services

We can introduce you to specialist services and make sure you are speaking to the right professionals who can meet your child’s needs.

• Support for Your Child’s Education

Our team provides educational support for children with additional needs, including helping with school placements, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), transport arrangements, and attending school meetings to ensure your child receives the support they need.

• Understand Diagnoses, Healthcare, and Complex Processes

We can explain medical diagnoses and conditions, advocate on your behalf at appointments, and help you understand healthcare letters, reports, and official processes so you feel confident navigating the system.

• Housing Support and Practical Guidance

We offer guidance for housing issues and other practical matters affecting families of children with disabilities.

• Emotional Support and Behavioural Guidance

We provide emotional support for parents and carers and discuss behavioural and communication strategies to help your child and family cope and flourish.

Get Started with Our Family Support Services

To access support from Little Miracles, please fill in the form below. Providing as much detail as possible will help us understand your family’s situation and tailor our support to your needs.

Once your form is submitted, you will receive a call—usually within a few days—to book an appointment, which might be either in-person or online. Please note that our Family Support services are very popular, so there is often a waiting time of a few weeks.

Where possible, our Family Support Team will provide the help your family needs. If your situation requires different support, we can also signpost you to other specialist organisations better suited to assist you.

For families living in Peterborough and surrounding areas, the Peterborough SEND Guide, produced by Care Choices, is also a useful resource for information on local disability services and SEND support.

Family Support and Wellbeing Events

Our Family Support and Wellbeing events are a friendly space for families of children with disabilities and life-limiting conditions to come together. They’re a great opportunity to meet our Family Support team, connect with other families who understand what you’re going through, and get helpful advice.

These events are all about sharing experiences, feeling supported, and knowing you’re not alone. Whether you want practical tips, emotional support, or just a chance to chat with people who get it, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
