Choosing a school
Choosing a school for your child is a big decision for any parent, and the move from primary to secondary school is particularly important.
Education: school years
At this stage, most children with special educational needs will get the support they need from their local school.
Statements and statutory assessments
Some children with significant special educational needs may need a statement, to describe in detail the support they need and the services they will receive.
Making friends
One of the main concerns for any parent is that their child will be able to meet other young people and make friends.
Puberty
Puberty can be a very confusing time, and as a parent it can be hard to find the right words to talk about the changes your child is going through.
Real life stories
Read the real life stories of parents and carers of children with a learning disability.
