The SEND Foundation Course
Has your child been recently identified as having additional needs? Do you find the systems and support for special educational needs confusing? Would you benefit from a broad overview of how it all works?
This two-part course has been designed to provide an introduction on all the key issues parents/carers will encounter as your children grow and develop. It aims to empower parents of children who have a recent diagnosis, or are undergoing assessment for additional needs, but it will be helpful to any parents who feel they need an overview of the following subjects and issues:
- Coming to terms with and understanding your child’s diagnosis/possible diagnosis
- Where to go for information and advice
- Handling stress and building resilience
- Gaining support from other parent-carer
- Accessing benefits and financial support
- Getting support for your child at school
- Accessing support through health & social care
- Accessing other key services and opportunities in West Sussex.
Delivered via Zoom by Jane Cross.
