I attended a training session with Colin last week and he was fantastic! Very informative and gave real depth to his knowledge of ADHD. Thank you 😊

politicshome.com/news/uk/edu… Not just educational funding for #SEND, but also diagnostic pathways for #Autism & #ADHD, & processes to challenge so complex + hidden that even the most tenacious parents/carers can’t secure correct support.

SEND funding is trapped in a vicious downward spiral, we need a national strategy

The money announced by the Government last year isn’t enough to make the SEND funding crisis go away, we need to make government, schools, health and social services work more effectively, writes...

This excluding of parents is very concerning!
Action for ASD (@Action4ASD) profile pictureAction for ASD@Action4ASD29 Jan 2020
This is becoming increasingly commonplace which is worrying. I was also asked whether schools and LAs should be meeting without parents regarding EHCP. This was discovered after freedom of information requests. Excluding parents is not the way to go

This will not help relationships between parents and teaching staff. It’s very offensive and inflammatory

It seems to me that Social Workers are deciding on what parents can and cant have from a Support Perspective!
Action for ASD (@Action4ASD) profile pictureAction for ASD@Action4ASD26 Jan 2020
I have noticed that social workers are adverse to the word ‘respite ‘ and that they feel that parents shouldn’t be wanting a break from their children because they are not an imposition. parents are not suggesting they are an imposition

I keep expecting professional people to be shocked, and am relieved that you are, by people's experiences. They aren't even surprised, which suggests horror stories are all too common.

Reading through some of your experiences demonstrates not only injustice, but the most appalling attitudes towards disability and parents with a disability, by professionals, that I have encountered in modern times. It’s extraordinary
