Wiltshire Portage is a registered charity and independent organisation providing a free home-visiting, specialist educational service for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) . Our service reaches over 75 families across the towns and villages of Wiltshire (excluding Swindon) for children from birth to school entry, operating during term time for 38 weeks a year.
Our aim is to work with families and their young children to provide unique learning opportunities through holistic play and a step by step individualised programme to help them develop a quality of life and experience in which they can learn together, play together, participate and be included in their community.
Wiltshire Portage is a member of the National Portage Association which follows the values and principles that working in partnership with parents, carers and other professionals ensure that decision making is always centered on the needs of the child and helps parents to be confident in this role whatever their child’s needs may be.
