Scope
works with disabled people and their families at every stage of their lives.
From offering day to day support and information, to challenging assumptions
about disability and influencing decision makers – everything we do is about
creating real and lasting change.
We believe that a world where all
disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else would be a pretty
incredible place for all of us. Together we can make it happen. Four year
old Leila lives in Manchester with her mum, dad and three brothers. When Leila
was two she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy which affects her lower limbs. Leila’s family felt shocked and confused at the lack of information made
available to them and without any prior knowledge of cerebral palsy, they all
felt the strain of not knowing what her future held. But then Jo, Leila’s mum,
got in touch with Scope Response and felt immediately reassured. Scope
organised a visit from her local Regional Response Worker Ian. 
"It was such a pleasure to know that somebody would
actually come to us and have the time for us. Our Scope Response Worker was
superb – he was bursting with information which is just what we needed.” – Jo,
Leila’s mum
Jo feels
more positive than ever about Leila’s future. Leila is a confident and bubbly
little girl with a strong, happy family and a very bright future ahead of her.
