Spectrum Membership

Complete our free and simple registration

Our membership is free and is required to access Spectrum services in the UK, like requesting places at our events and sessions, accessing our Family Support team as well as the Max Card.

Once we have processed your form, we will provide you with a dedicated Spectrum Membership number. We will also keep you up to date with all our latest information, news and events.

In registering with us, we can ensure you are covered under our insurances and that we are aware of all your child’s needs. We cater for any child from pre-birth, where a diagnosis is made antenatally, up to 18 years old. Any child with additional needs is welcome, even if you have just started on the diagnosis journey with their GP/Education setting and don’t have a formal diagnosis in place. As a registered Spectrum member, you can access our Child & Family Support from the comfort of your home.

Spectrum is all about inclusion and a family-focus, so the child’s parents/carers and their siblings are very welcome at the events and sessions we provide.

All information you provide to us is strictly for the Spectrum team’s attention and will not be shared with any other members or third parties. Spectrum reserves the right to request further information to help validate your membership request at any time.

If you have any questions concerning our Spectrum membership form, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
