You may be at the very beginning, wondering whether the things you have noticed mean anything. Or you may already be dealing with meetings, SEN Support, an EHCP or an important decision.
Wherever you are, I can help you understand the bigger picture and work out what to do next.

MAKING SENSE OF WHAT YOU SEE

Some parents come with reports, meeting notes and years of history. Others come with a feeling that their child is finding things harder than anyone seems to realise.
We look at what is happening at home and at school, what support has already been tried and where the gaps may be. Then we focus on what matters now.

RELIABLE EXPERTISE 

I bring almost four decades of experience across teaching, school leadership, SEND and local-authority inclusion work.

I understand how schools work, what effective SEN Support should look like and how provision, evidence and statutory processes fit together. Just as importantly, I understand that home and school may see different parts of the same child.

I help you bring those pieces together and work constructively with the people supporting your child.

HOW I CAN HELP

 I can help you:

  • Understand your child’s needs/current support
  • Prepare for meetings with school
  • Make sense of SEN Support/EHCP processes
  • Organise reports, observations and evidence
  • Prepare parent statements/annual-review contributions
  • Plan clear, realistic next steps

The guidance is shaped around your child, not a generic checklist.

Frequently asked questions

What is the role of the school in this process?

The school plays an important part in identifying and supporting your child’s needs. SEND at Heart helps you understand how to work closely with the school to ensure everyone is aligned. By collaborating with teachers, SENCOs and other professionals, we’ll make sure the right steps are taken to support your child’s growth.

What if I’m not sure whether my child has SEND?

That’s exactly what we’ll explore together. We’ll guide you through the steps of identifying and seeking appropriate support, from discussing concerns with the school to seeking professional assessments and working towards an application for an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP), if that is necessary.

How can I work with the school to get the best support for my child?

We’ll equip you with the tools to have productive conversations with your child’s school. Our communication templates and consultations will help you understand how to approach the school in a collaborative, solution-focused way. Together, we’ll make sure the school is clear on your child’s needs and the support they need to help them thrive.

What if the school is already offering some support?

That’s great! SEND at Heart will advise on the support already in place, ensuring it’s the right fit for your child. We’ll guide you on how to assess and adapt the support to make sure your child’s needs are fully met, ensuring that the right professionals are involved.
