What we do

What we do

Signpost supports families of children & young people with additional support needs and disabilities in West Lothian, with both practical information and emotional support, so that they can make the most of life.

We offer support to:

  • families of those age 0-18, with any kind of additional support needs
  • families of young people with a diagnosis, and those without a diagnosis
  • the wider circle of family, friends and professionals who are involved with the child or young person

Our rapid response and person-centred support means we can often prevent a problem from becoming a crisis.

We help people to find their own solutions by showing them the options available. 

Our years of experience mean that we can often suggest support or services that families are not aware of.

We focus on the positives, not the negatives. 

We work in partnership with others to ensure that families receive the best support from the most appropriate services.
