Guide for parents

Support for you and your child

The Special Educational Needs (SEN) section includes resources and links that offer information and advice to help you support your child. It provides games and activities to help support the learning of children with a range of special educational needs.

Many of the daily activities that you would normally do at home can offer important learning experiences and an element of fun for a child. The resources are designed to supplement the information provided by your child’s school.

It is important that if you have a child with special educational needs that you do not feel isolated or under pressure; regular communication and contact with school staff will help. If you are liaising with other agencies, continue to work with them and your child’s school.
