Amaze

Amaze is a charity that gives information, advice and support to families with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove.

Your child or young person does not need to have a formal diagnosis to get support from Amaze, though some of our services do have eligibility requirements.

Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) offers detailed online information, regular free workshops and an advice line for one-to-one advice.

If you want to make a claim for Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment for a child or young person, Amaze provides detailed online advice and free workshops on making a successful claim. 

The ND Family Support Service is for families with children and young people under 25, before and after assessment for neurodevelopmental differences such as autism, ADHD, tics/Tourettes or a learning disability. We support families in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex.

Parent Groups and Befriending. Amaze offers peer support to parent carers through regular social groups, workshops, events and one to one befriending.

Amazing Futures offers groups, advice and support for young people with additional needs aged 14 to 25 in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex. We provide a friendly, welcoming space where their voices are heard and valued, and they can really be themselves. We have a new website for young people where they can learn about the project, get accessible information on useful topics, or enjoy fun stuff like puzzles, recipes, and more.
