What we do . .


SNAAP informs, encourages and supports parents and carers, enabling them to provide the best possible help to their children via a range of services. Our priority is to provide the help you need when you need it the most and we focus upon the whole family and not just on the child with disabilities.


If you have a child between 0 – 25 years who has any special need or disability and you live in the Canterbury District, then we are here for you and your family. No formal diagnosis or professional referral is necessary to access SNAAP services.

SNAAP - The team

Who we are


SNAAP was started in 2003 by a group of parents who wanted to make a difference and realised that they were not alone in feeling isolated and frustrated. With the help of Contact a Family, who carried out a consultation that highlighted a lack of support and information as well as limited leisure opportunities, SNAAP was born. Our Manager, Carrie Wood, is one of those founding members and helped make SNAAP the charity that it is today.
