Who can help, when to seek support, and what parents need to know.
Parents often know something isn't quite right long before anyone else does. But understanding what you're seeing, who to talk to, and how to navigate the SEND system can feel overwhelming.
This session explores some of the most common neurodevelopmental differences, explains the roles of different professionals, and helps parents understand what support may be available, both in school and beyond. Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or simply want to understand SEND more confidently, this session will help you make sense of the landscape.
