When James started to contribute too, our summer chats somehow evolved into our book.Although I am now an Advisory Teacher, the biggest and most important role I have had to date has been parenting James. I would love to tell you a little about our journey, to read a few extracts from the book and to tell you what else has happened in the last 12 years now that James is 30.We are a friendly, knowledgeable and supportive team, and we are all SEN parents ourselves, so we really do understand the high's and lows of raising children with neuro-developmental differences.Teas, coffees and biscuits are all provided!**Please note - we cannot accommodate children at this support group.
