There are, however, lots of organisations that can help those who have children with special needs, so if you feel you need some expert help, please click here for some suggestions of who to contact. If you have come across an organisation that you have found helpful, please email their web address to our webguide manager here. Many thanks, Mumsnet Towers.

dd was 2 a couple of weeks ago and has CP and can't walk. Someone here mentioned that you could apply for a Blue Badge at this age so we did and got it this morning. Such a relief, I know it will make trips out easier. Here is a link for those interested:

yeh yeh yeh. We have a red badge which just makes it so much easier to not have to worry about dd1 taking off across a carpark or stopping dead and sitting down in the middle of the road. We can only use ours in off street parking - but it really helps.

We are still waiting for ours (doctors statement...) but are SOOOOOOO looking forward to being able to park in a space big enough to open the car door and let out our baby AND the oxygen equipment we get to lug everywhere!
HAVE FUN PARKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
