Whether it’s a change of teacher, a new classroom, or even a whole school, September can be a nervous time for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and for parents too.
That’s why we’d love to hear from you if you can relate to any of these experiences, and what helped the most (or didn’t) for you and your child during the transition.
Was there a particular strategy, tool or routine that helped? Did a teacher or SENCO go above and beyond?
Your tips or shared experience could really help another parent going through this for the first time.
By sharing, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 VEX voucher - so you can spend it on whatever helps your family start the school year off right!
Principal of Whinfell School (Autism School) Paddy Sandham and Suzanne Mulligan, headteacher at Beverley School (SEMH School), will also be available in a few weeks to give their advice on the thread!
