hi there
Hope you can help me. Wanted to get your feedback on terminology.
I work for a government dept who is drawing up a document at the mo. In it it talks about "children with SEN". Being a parent of a child with special educational needs, I personally do not think it should be described as Capital S E N - iykwim? My child has autism with a lower case a, not upper case.
Am I being oversensitive. None of my colleagues agree that it should bother anyone, but they don't have children with a disability.
I hope I have explained myself properly! What are your knowledgeable viewpoints? Many thanks.
