Being a parent of a neurodivergent child can be challenging and exhausting. It can feel like a constant battle to be heard and to gain the support that you and your child need. This book provides an accessible overview of the SEND system and how it works, so that you can successfully untangle and navigate the system and draw upon the best resources offered.
The handbook is divided into three main parts: SEND systems, policy and legislation; support for your child in school; and looking forward. Chapters:
- Introduce the world of SEND systems and break down key documentation and the roles and responsibilities of school staff
- Take you on your child's journey through school and explore key aspects from assessment and EHCPs, to funding and gaining further support for your child
- Look ahead and consider important transitions through each of the school phases in your child's journey and allows you to acknowledge some of your own fears and challenges as a parent
- Include a range of both practical and reflective activities to bring each area to life
The voices of parents and carers are woven in throughout the book, as well as key staff who you might encounter, from occupational therapists to speech and language therapists. This comprehensive guide will be an essential tool to support your journey to get the best from your child's school experience.
