title: Support for families with children with special needs.
abstract: Families with children with special needs have to cope not only with their child's condition, but also with practical problems such as transport and opportunities for a break from their caring responsibilities. Anthea Clarke describes how 'Flexicare' helps these families in Oxfordshire, and calls for more such voluntary groups across the country.
