📣Calling all parents/carers we want to hear from you!📣

Most SEND parents know what it’s like to wait for an assessment.

Whether it’s from an EP, SALT or OT what did you think the assessments would deliver?

The 'you made eye contact' or 'We're all a bit autistic' gets us every time.

What are the cracking one-liners you've heard?
We'll start, 'Are you sure you're autistic?'

Are school and grades the essential thing in life? We know they are important but so are emotional growth and understanding.

Which would you say is more important for your child to learn?

Riley Regan, who attends the @AVFCFoundation’s Ability Counts disability football sessions, walked out with @IngsDanny this afternoon and the striker joined his mascot in wearing headphones to block out the noise. 💜

And not much else has changed for many of the children with SEN that we know and work with.

When is the education going to change to support them and not try and change the individual to 'fit' into their school???

'Young people with learning or thinking differences are being "criminalised" by the education system and youth offending services because of procedures that isolate and harm them...'
Who else has experienced this at school?

Autism Education Trust has created a free download to support those with Autism with transitions.
I think every parent has a story about a transition in a school/ placement that wasn't the greatest.

'More than two-thirds of children in custody have special educational needs (SEN) and educational provision is woefully inadequate for children in both quantity and quality.'

How is this acceptable??
