Devon Information Advice and Support (DiAS) has produced a new booklet for parents and carers about Special Educational Needs (SEN) support in schools. It’s full of practical tips and advice and based on what happens every day in schools.
Available as a PDF and a printed booklet, it takes parents and carers step by step through SEN support in schools, as well as setting out the law and everyone’s rights and responsibilities. It also includes information about:
- what kind of support should be available in all schools
- what a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is and what they do
- reasonable adjustments – what these are how they can support your child
- school plans and meetings
- your role as a parent
- how schools plan and give support
- getting specialist help and assessment
