There is now an out-of-hours phone line which provides advice to parents and carers who are struggling with behaviours or difficulties which could be related to neurodevelopmental need, such as autism or ADHD.
 
Skilled and friendly advisers will talk carers and families through ways of calming down situations at the time they are struggling with behaviour or difficulties and remind them of their coping strategies.
 
It runs from 5pm until 11pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
