So another change in Children’s Minister who has responsibility for SEND. 7 ministers have come and gone since the SEND Review (2019) with no progress. So the reforms that are so badly needed are once again kicked down the road.

Tony Hickmott, happy in his new home and having a wonderful time. What a shame it took 22 years for the powers that be to realise this was possible. We hope they are queuing up to apologise.

Might be a bit late for a sensible post but here goes I have a pre-verbal child with poor motor control. He's very bright and a great reader. (Read a word and ask him to point it out=success everytime) We're thinking of ways to assess him to see just how great he is. Any ideas?
