PDA Society Service Directory
Organisation Name:
Kids
Description of services:
Childhood should be a joyful time. But some children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities are defined by what they cannot do. That’s wrong. Every child should have an equal opportunity to play, learn, grow and thrive. We create life-changing opportunities by providing a wide range of support. Together, we’ll empower disabled children to stand up for their rights.
