Hi.
Just thought I'd see what MNers thought of my idea - I'm a SALT, also mum to ds1 who's ASD, and Ds2 (NT). I run baby signing courses at the moment as a business, but was thinking of starting a Saturday morning playgroup for children with special needs, up to around 5 or 6 years, and their families.
It would be totally not for profit, with a very small charge to cover room hire and coffee, and I was thinking it'd be a good chance for parents to relax, meet each other and get some support. I thought perhaps an hour or so of "free time" then 20 minutes of singing, with signs, puppets, some games, parachute, etc.
I was wondering if anyone else has been to a group like this, or run one, and how it went? Is it a good idea or not? Would you go to something like this if it was in your area?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

thinking of starting a special needs playgroup - would you go to one? Good idea or not?
