Here are a few ways you can help your child if they have Special Educational Needs (SEN):

  1. Get them an appropriate education: If your child has special educational needs, it's important to get them into the right educational setting where they will receive the support they need.
  2. Work with teachers: Work closely with your child's teacher to make sure they are meeting your child's needs.
  3. Create a supportive environment at home: Make sure your child feels safe, loved, and supported at home.
  4. Encourage social skills: Encourage your child to develop social skills, such as communication and teamwork, through play, clubs or sports.
  5. Encourage independence: Help your child to become as independent as possible. This will build their confidence and help them to feel good about themselves.
  6. Adapt activities: Adapt activities, such as cooking, arts and crafts, and playing games, to make them more accessible for your child.
  7. Be patient: Be patient with your child and understand that they may need more time to process information and complete tasks.
  8. Seek support: Seek support from other families with similar experiences, as well as support groups, therapists, and medical professionals, as needed.
