SEN PARENTS SUPPORT GROUP - Thread 1

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Hey everyone

this is the original thread that was started for half term:
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5491563-half-term-sen-parents-support-group?page=1

but we’re carrying it on since it’s been helpful

all parents of sen kids are welcome - also those who’s sen kids are now adults!

safe space to vent, share advice, tips and tricks, share good news and bad, and just chit chat and be 🙂

i am a mum of one dd. She’s 6 and is autistic and not yet verbal. It’s just us, no support system so I am thankful for the people on here keeping me company through the journey ❤️

@Wildturnip Have you thought about Young Epilepsy in Surrey? If not now, maybe later in her teens for 6th form or the FE college. They have students like your daughter.

@BlueandWhitePorcelain, I hadn’t but thanks so much I’ll take a look. My DH thinks she might be better off in a residential setting but it feels like she’s too young. We have another child with the same diagnosis’ minus epilepsy and they have a fuller life but need alot of emotional support. I’ve tried local support groups but the child don’t tend to be like my daughter so it’s quite isolating.
