What families say
We work with families at some of the most stressful points in their lives. Here is what some of them have shared.
I had been fighting for my son's EHCP for over two years and got no where. Within weeks of working with The SEND Solution, we had a plan issued that legally worded properly and a school placement that actually met his needs. Thank you :)
S.M.
Parent of a child with autism and ADHD
The advice call alone was worth every penny. Our advocate explained our rights clearly, told us exactly what to ask for and gave us the confidence to go back to the LA and push for what our daughter needed. We never felt alone in this.
R.T.
Parent of a child with complex sensory needs
You took the overwhelm away from me completely. I was at tribunal and had no idea what I was doing. The SEND Solution team managed everything all the evidence, the document and deadlines. We won our case and our son is now in a specialist placement that is genuinely changing his life.
J.K.
Parent following a successful tribunal appeal
The EHCP check Laura completed for us was SO thorough! You could tell no stone was lest unturned... and everything was flagged with SEND law and annotations... I would never have spotted it myself.
C.B.
Parent of a child with dyslexia and DCD
Our advocate had lived experience of the SEND system herself and that made such a difference us. She understood not just the law but also the emotional toll it takes on us families and it was the first time felt heard in years.
A.W.
Parent of a child with PDA and anxiety
We needed an EOTAS package designed quickly after our son became unwell. The team pulled everything together all the provision, costings, therapy and the LA accepted it. He is thriving now.
