Parents And Carers Support Organisation (PACSO)

Relieving parents and carers of children and young people with a disability, through the provision of recreational and social facilities in West Sussex. All children, no matter their abilities or challenges, seem to enjoy sensory play, so we designed activities around what the children can feel, hear, see, and move with.  We prided ourselves in offering play opportunities to all the children in a family until our demand for 1:1 places increased so significantly that it became impossible to include siblings, but we hope to return to that one day.  Although many of the PACSO children had developmental delays, we took the approach that PACSO isn’t ‘school’.  We purposely designed a safe play space and where all children could relax and enjoy themselves at whatever level they were able to on that day.  Learning often occurred but wasn’t the main goal.  We set out to meet every child’s needs even if it was very complicated!
