What is the Opportunity Group?
The family group encourages children (0-5)
with a wide range of Special Needs (physical, emotional, and sensory disabilities) to learn to play
and socialise with each other, with input from professionals, such as Speech Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Portage.
Admission to the group is usually via Doctors, Health
Visitors or Parents themselves if their child has
recognised Special needs. However Parents can still
contact the Group if they are worried about their
child and would like to talk to someone about their
concerns.
The children have a one-to-one Key-worker,
responsible for their care. Parents also come to the
group for encouragement, advice and friendship.
The Romsey Opportunity Group is one of the few
Special Needs Centres in Hampshire for this age group.
No fees are charged to children/families; all
monies being obtained by Donations, Fund-raising and
Grants. The Group is OFSTED registered as compliant for the Care
Component.
The Group meets on Tuesday and Thursday Mornings
10:00am to 12:00pm during term time only
at the Appletree Centre.
