Parenting a child with SEND can be isolating. Other parents don't always understand why your child behaves differently, why you can't just 'go to that birthday party', or why school mornings involve an hour-long negotiation. Local support groups connect you with families who get it — without having to explain or justify.
There's no wrong time to join a support group. Many parents wish they'd found one earlier. Whether you're waiting for a diagnosis, fighting for provision, managing daily challenges, or simply want to meet other families who understand, a support group can provide both practical advice and emotional support. The parents you meet there have usually been through what you're facing now.

Glasgow City Council's Education Services department oversees additional support for learning across the city's schools. Glasgow has a number of specialist schools and specialist provisions within mainstream settings. As with all Scottish councils, the framework is based on the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Act rather than EHCPs.
