"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Words can't express how grateful I am for all your hard work, professionalism and belief in myself. You are fantastic at your job and I truly believe that I wouldn't have had the same result if it wasn't for yourself."

"When times seemed hard and apparent incompetence of others around us seemed to far outweigh our own resources, it was a breath of fresh air to have you dealing with this important issue on our behalf. Your enthusiasm and professionalism knew no boundaries along with your sense of humour, which I remember has been tested to certain limits, but at least we could smile whilst making progress."
Simon & Liz, Carmarthen

"Mike was professional, efficient and friendly. We always felt that we could trust him and that he treated our Son as he would have his own child. Our Son`s special needs are now met. Our hard earned and limited money was well spent!"

What are Special Educational Needs?
s.312 of the Education Act 1996 defines the circumstances arising when a child has learning difficulties, which require special educational provision to be made.
Special Educational Needs arise if:
- A child has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age.
- A child has a disability, which affects that child from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools within the area of the Local Education Authority.
- The child is under the age of five years and is or would be if special educational support were not made, likely to fall within the above categories when over the age of five.
The Education Act 1996 allows for more detailed Guidance to be produced and that guidance is contained in the Special Educational Needs Cope of Practice in England (issued in November 2001). In Wales the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice for Wales (issued in April 2002) is the relevant guidance.
It must be stressed that the legislative procedure in regard to special Education needs is a complex and detailed process, which involves the LEA throughout and so we would strongly recommend seeking appropriate legal advice at an early stage. We are able to advise you on all aspects of special Education needs, your rights, and the best solution to meet your child’s needs.
Some conditions that may require SEN recognition and provision
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, ASD (Autism), Language Difficulty, ADHD, Dyscalculia, Fragile X, CP , and many more. Remember, if your child is still struggling in school despite support being put in place, and you are worried that your child is still not making progress, you should speak to one of our SEN legal specialists.
