Summer Events in Blackpool 2006

"This has been of enormous benefit to the children and their families. The long summer holiday can be a nightmare for some families with children on the autistic spectrum but the Tigger's scheme has been a great development in working with these youngsters to have a good time and be active participants in the community facilities and opportunities afforded all children. Real social inclusion has been achieved"

says Mick Connelly Assistant Manager , Central Service for Support and Advice, Pupils with Physical Sensory Severe and Complex Learning Difficulties including SEN in the Early Years
