At the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- review your community support network (paediatrician, respiratory vendor, home care, VEP, rehabilitation services etc.)
As you care for your child at home, you will call on a 'personal support network' in your community to help with your child’s needs. This personal support network includes people who know about your child’s healthcare needs and can help when you or your child has a problem.
It may help you to write down their names and contact details below.
