Talking to Children about NF
Sometimes it can be hard to know what to say to children and their siblings about NF. Rest assured we have some tips for you. Check out our Talking with Children information sheet. You may also find the children’s book The NF Hero by Lana Hanssens (who is a mum of a NF Hero herself) helpful in explaining NF to younger children.
Information for schools
Depending on your child’s level of ability, speaking with your school about an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or supports that they can provide is a good first step.
Contact our Support Services Team if you would like assistance advocating for your child with their school or to discuss NDIS and other community service-based supports you may be entitled to access. Complete our contact form or call 02 9713 6111.
Looking for something else?
Our support team has a number of other resources available on specific topics or complications seen in NF. Please get in touch on 02 9713 6111 or at info@ctf.org.au for more information.
