Spectrum is a multi-award winning, parent-led children’s charity. We provide events, sessions, and support for families of children with Autism, additional needs, learning difficulties, and disabilities. As an organisation, we are family-focused, advocates of collaboration, passionate about increasing inclusion and reducing isolation whilst supporting Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND). Our membership is free.
Our team are all parents of children with Autism, additional needs and disabilities, or work with SEND every day. We understand the journey, hurdles and frustrations that many families face. As a registered Spectrum member, you can also access our dedicated child and family support from the comfort of your home, as well as gain assistance with EHCP and DLA. Furthermore, we are proud to be a leading UK distributor for Max Card. The Max Card helps make days out more financially accessible for the families of children with additional needs.
SPECTRUM MISSION
To be a pivotal part of our community and become a recognised benchmark of support for families of children with autism and additional needs. To embrace inclusion while providing inspiration.
SPECTRUM VISION
To show that it can be great to be different. To transparently provide creative opportunities, social gains and exceptional support to every child and family that we work with, without judgement.
Make a Difference
Donate to Spectrum
As a charity, run by volunteers, Spectrum relies heavily on donations.
Each donation makes a huge difference to the work we can do.
Spectrum DNA
Our focus is to support children to be themselves, without judgement, and we recognise that families need, or prefer, to be supported in different ways. To provide opportunities for them to improve their social development and wellbeing, alongside that of their family. Collaboration with our partners is hugely important to us, allowing us to create new, carefully considered options and interactions for families to experience in their communities and make a difference.
