Beyond individual therapists and specialists, there are organisations that offer broader SEND support — advisory services, family support workers, multi-disciplinary teams, and advocacy services. These can be invaluable when you need help navigating the system, coordinating care, or simply knowing where to turn next.
If you feel lost in the system, if you're not sure what your child is entitled to, if you need help preparing for a school meeting or EHCP review, or if you're in dispute with a Local Authority, these services exist to help. SENDIASS in particular is a service every parent of a child with SEND should know about — it's free, confidential, and available in every Local Authority area.
