SMS advice to advice to disabled people and their families

Disability charity Scope has rolled out an SMS service to provide information and support to disabled people and their families. NMA reports.

"Those texting SCOPE to 80039 will be able to get advice on conditions such as cerebral palsy, as well as other disability-related issues.

Steve Cairns, head of Scope Response, said, "Our Scope Response service is a lifeline to people, particularly to parents of children who have been newly diagnosed with CP, and we wanted to be able to support them in any way we could.

The addition of a text-based service means we have another way of providing free and confidential advice to disabled people and their families."
