[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2213124, member: 451727"] Hi there [USER=501042]@Triscornia[/USER] , all I would add (and it has been mentioned above), make sure you avail yourself of ALL the gadgets & technology available to help you. There are lots of them about now, some available on the NHS and I'm sure if you research it and check the specific criteria, you will see whether your son is eligible.
