Ebook: Moving On : Supporting Parents of Children with Special Educational Needs

First Published in 2004. In 1999 the Department of Health estimated that there were 549,800 children with special needs under the age of 18 in the UK (Department of Health 1999). Each of those children will have been seen by various professionals, assessed, discussed and have reports written about them. But at the end of the day when the reports are filed away most of the children go home to parents and carers. This book is written with those parents and carers in mind. Families in this situation face many issues that are way beyond what other parents have to deal with.
