Summer schemes in belfast!?

carlamagee

hi guys.
just wondered if anyone on here was from belfast, and if so have heard of, or even used Barnardos "Forward Steps" programme!? My nephew is currently undergoing diagnosis for Aspergers & ADHD. They provide a Summer club specifically for preschool children with autism, which would be a godsend for my sister, as the Easter holidays showed that no routine makes life hell. I think my sister would go insane for 3 months with no definite routine for him.
If not, anyone know of any other summer shemes or clubs that would accept a 4 year old boy?
any help or advice greatly recieved.

They have a scheme called caring for carers, they also promote personal, nursing and specialised services for children and adults.......their web address is www.crossroadscare.co.uk and their email is [EMAIL="mail@crossroadscare.co.uk"]mail@crossroadscare.co.uk[/EMAIL]

Its hard going sometimes:) crossroads couldnt help me, because I live out in the sticks:( and they had no support workers in my area!! I hope that they help your sister!!
