Reviews
"Very supportive and helpful. Always friendly and happy to give advice on anything I needed help with. They came and supported parents at my son’s school which I know was very welcomed. Thank you."
Caroline from Erdington
"I am a parent going through the autism diagnosis process and I have felt incredibly alone and isolated as I had no one to talk to who understood what I was going through or how I felt or believed me when I spoke about my son’s behaviours.
This support group has been a lifeline to me. To talk to someone who doesn't brush me off, make light of what I'm saying or feeling and can offer practical advice and support has been the biggest help to me and my family and as a result I feel happier going through this process and more confident to fight for my son. Family life is happier through implementing strategies I was given at the support group. It has really been a saviour for me and my family."

"My name is Emma and for the time I have been using the service I have found it productive and really helpful I would not have known where to turn when my daughter was excluded from mainstream primary school, if it wasn’t for Ann and her team I would still be clueless. She helped me fill out endless forms that made no sense to me and phoned to help hurry along my daughters EHC, thank you so much for all of your support, my daughter is now in a secondary special school where she is so happy and thriving again, thank you for all your support through a really difficult time."
Emma from Erdington
"The support from USG has been unbelievable. When I've been at my lowest and nowhere to turn, they've guided and supported me and my children, in particular my son who is diagnosed ASD. They have pointed me in the direction of the correct professional help, supported diagnosis and EHCP applications and although I am SEN qualified TA, they have given support as a single parent. I cannot thank them enough."
