Short breaks give disabled children and young people the chance to take part in a wide range of activities that are fun, as well as develop new skills and experiences. They can also give the parent or carer a much-needed break.
Short breaks can take place at any time and happen either in the child's own home or within places such as early years settings, schools, youth clubs, leisure centres and adventure playgrounds. There are short breaks available after school, at the weekend or during the school holidays.
