1. No workers' rights for carers

If I could ask the service providers who have anything to do with disabled children one thing, it would be to not make us have to chase them up.

2. Home safe and sound but what if we weren't so lucky?

I am really not great this morning. Yesterday the car broke down.

3. Gawping adults who should know better

One of the aspects of her disability that upsets my daughter more than most is the stares we get from other people.

4. It's not just a postcode lottery - it's an age lottery too

If you have a baby born with a disability, then certain services kick in, eventually.

5. Pointless hurdles to essential care

One thing that is more annoying that having to go to all the hospital appointments we have is actually getting the appointments in the first place.

6. Forced to go private for a vital appointment

Finally we have an appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat Consultant. Though not at the Royal Berks, privately, at the Berkshire Independent.

7. The value of talking to those who can't talk to you

When you have a small child who is not yet talking, it is vital that you keep the chat going.

8. The parking spaces some people think are theirs

Despite all the concessions, parking the car with a disabled person to think about is really not easy.

9. An average day of chasing, badgering and reminding

10. Please help us build somewhere we can cry

Right here in Wokingham there are families whose children are so severely disabled that they often feel they can't leave the house.
