Advocating For Your Child In School - End of Autumn Term / Christmas Edition
Monday 17th November, 8:30pm
Do you ever wonder how to effectively advocate for your child in school?
In this session, we’ll explore:
What reasonable adjustments really mean, and who is entitled to them
What accommodations you can request for your neurodivergent child - with or without a diagnosis
How to hold a productive meeting with your child’s class teacher or SENDCo
What a reduced timetable is and how it can support your child this term
We’ll also discuss the importance of movement and sensory breaks, and how to ensure your child has access to sensory tools and regulation strategies in school. (‘If your child has one, then every child will want one’ is not an acceptable response!)
Drawing on both personal and professional experience as a teacher, I’ll share practical advice and real examples to help you feel more confident navigating the system.
You’ll leave this workshop feeling empowered, informed, and ready to advocate for your child in their next school meeting.
