Additional Information

Sólás is a special needs charity in Belfast, which supports children, young people and their families with a broad range of additional needs.

At Sólás, our hardworking staff and volunteers deliver interactive and practical support for children with additional needs and their families through educational and social programmes, networking and collaboration, and a commitment to excellence.

Our current services include;

Early Years Intervention (Playgroups/ Parent, Career Training/ Play and Stays)

Our Playgroups consist of our Seedlings group (2-3 year olds) which runs Monday – Friday, our SEN (Non-Statutory) Pre School (3-4year olds) which runs Monday - Friday and our Sunflowers group (3-4 year olds) which runs Monday – Thursday.

We believe early intervention is key to help equip children and their families with the best possible tools to navigate their world. We do this by partnering with health professionals (Speech and Language Therapists / Occupational Therapists etc) in the Belfast Trust and ensuring that our own staff are trained to a high standard, so that they can deliver the individualised support that each child attending needs, children, that due to their individual requirements, would be at risk of having no pre-school or nursey place if it wasn’t for Sólás.

Parent / Career Training sessions: 

We support the parents / careers by delivering workshops to empower them with all the knowledge they need to support their child. These workshops cover a variety of things from communication and visuals, sensory processing, assessment diagnosis, accessing educational support and help accessing financial support.

Play and Stays:

Ran weekly for parents of 0-3 year olds, giving parents the chance to bond and develop relationships / support networks with other parents that face the same obstacles due to their child’s additional requirements. These currently run on Thursdays at our Parkmore site.
