The Parent’s Guide to SEND

Brilliant book! It’s a one-stop essential guide for parents. Among all that is written on SEND this book must stand out as a giant and will be warmly welcomed by parents, and teachers too! Well done Gary Aubin and Stephen Hull - your understanding of SEND and parents’ concerns and needs is second to none. – Dr. Gavin Reid, Author and PsychologistIf you’re a parent of a child with SEND I thoroughly recommend The Parent’s Guide to SEND. It’s like a parent handbook for SEND, guiding you carefully and practically through every stage, success and potential problem. Helping you to navigate everything from toileting and sleep, to choosing a school, working with the SENDCO and the process of getting an EHCP. – Georgina Durrant, former SENDCO & author of SEND Strategies for the Primary Years
