The situation in which children with SEN are at
schools are:
Young people with SEN did less well than their peers
at school and college and were more likely to be out of education, training and
employment at 18. Too many families had to battle to find out what support was
available and in getting the help they needed from education, health and social
care services; and when a young person left school for further education,
they entered a very different system which did not carry forward the rights and
protections that exist in the SEN system in schools.
Children with Sen have the support of TECHNOLOGIES

What Parents as Partners Means?
All settings
should develop effective partnerships with parents in order to enhance the
learning and development of the children with whom they work.
Parents are very interested in their
children’s progress from baby to child and beyond.
Support for parents
A support group for
parents and families of children who are Severely/Profoundly disabled. Parents
can find support for different disabilities including Cerebral Palsy
Developmental Delays, Failure to Thrive, Feeding Tubes, Mentally Impaired,
special needs, Spina Bifida, Seizures, Brain Injured, Scoliosis, CMV,
Microcephaly, and many others as well.
One of the hardest things for me to
learn as a special needs parents was how to ask for the help and support I
needed.
Following this phases they can
help their children:
- Talk
about your kids' personalities, not their accomplishments.
-
Insist on helping.
-
Stop with the maxims.
-
Extend some grace.
- Stop complaining about your kids.
- Pamper
your child.
-
See your child.
-
Support the cause.

It is
widely accepted that effective support for children with SEN should begin as
early as possible, epitomized by the phrase ‘early intervention’. As noted by
the British Institute of Learning Disabilities, ‘research and practice have
proven that Early Intervention produces immediate and long-term benefits for
children with disabilities, their family and society’.
Early
intervention is defined by EADSNE as ‘a range of all necessary interventions (social,
medical, psychological and educational) targeted towards children and their families,
to meet the special needs of children who show or risk some degree of delay in
development’.
Other Support
Services
Other than the
provision of resources to schools, EDB also provides the following professional
support services:
-Advisory Visit
by Special Education Support Officer
-Outsourced
Education Psychology Service for Primary Schools
-School-based
and Centre-based Adjustment Unit Service
-Teacher
Professional Development and Support Services
Finally, as a little summary, it is important to have
in mind that there are a lot of factors or elements that help to overcome this
situation. Elements as parents that can be with children helping them and
giving affection and normality to children, Moreover, technological resources
and supports are elementary for them. Giving all these terms to children they wouldn’t
treat SEN as a problem, they would treat it as something normal that can finish
with this type of help.
