Information and advice for young people (Your Space)

If you have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) you can find local services that offer help, support and advice from West Sussex Local Offer.

You will be able to access:

• information, advice and support
• local services for young people with SEND
• a range of events throughout West Sussex
• the latest SEND updates.

You can also search for other organisations that may be able to help. 

If you have speech or communication difficulties, registering for a Pegasus card with Sussex Police can help you in an emergency. As your name and details will already be held, you can quickly get on with telling them why you called. You can also show your card to a police officer, member of police staff or other emergency services staff should you require assistance in person.

If you want to find more information about health, wellbeing and disability there is lots of information on NHS Choices. It includes some of the most common disabilities (listed below), including information on symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
