In this session, educational psychologists Abigail Sterne & Audrey Johnson from One Education will answer questions from parents and carers about how the Education system works for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) and how ed. psychs support SEND processes.
Our aims are:
- To help parents/carers understand:
- What educational psychologists do
- Educational Psychology reports
- What schools and the local authority can do to support children with SEND
- To give information about:
- How schools can best meet children’s Special Educational Needs (SEN)
- What schools are required to provide
- What you can do if you think some of your child’s needs are not being met
- This session will also help inform future workshops that we will run together with One Education.
There will also be an opportunity to book a 20-minute one-to-one appointment with either Abigail or Audrey starting from 11am.
This session is FREE to attend for parents and carers of children and young people in Manchester who have SEN.
Booking is required.
We will serve lunch at the end of the session so please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.
