As a way of providing support and advice to families and introducing you to the IHC Library, we would like to give you a free book relevant to your child's needs. This is available to families with a child or family member with autism or an intellectual disability who is aged 0–24 years old.
To get a copy of a book fill out the form or get in touch with us.
