All children do better at school with their parents behind them. Parental support is even more crucial to success for a child with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). Success is about communication and teamwork If more schools encouraged and helped parents to work closely with teachers and specialists, to support their child's learning, success would be almost guaranteed. The focus of the book is on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities but the advice applies also to children without SEND, who need additional support in school. This book will help you understand the system, collaborate with schools more effectively - and get the results you want The book is written for parents, in clear, accessible language and does not attempt to cover all aspects of SEND. It is written mainly from my experiences as a specialist teacher and school trainer.
