Something very different!
As some of are aware I am a mum to 2 SEN children, I have been pondering over the idea of setting up a supportive group locally to me for a while.
ππ»
I am going to be setting up another IG page for the new group where people will be able to find out more about how important it is for us parents & carers as well as our children to support each other.
πͺπ»
Iβm just putting the feelers out to see if this Is something people may find helpful and Benifit from.

βAs a mum of 3 SEN children, having access to groups, clubs, events etc for parent & carers like myself and activities for SEN children can be
Challenging, as 2 of my children are of school age and their arenβt many things that are readily Available for them to take part in outside
Of School at convenient hours or outside Of term Time that is specifically for their needs.

I am starting a support group with the Lewisham area, South East London, and will be run by parents of SEN children who have an existing diagnosis or are awaiting to their diagnosis of ASD, Touretteβs or any other SEN disability, who want to help, support and share our personal experiences with others that may be in a similar situation by discussing possible solutions to ongoing issues we are all facing.
π§©
The group will be a place where you feel a sense of belonging and where We can encourage each other.
It will be 1 or 2 times per month and will be a stay and play session for SEN children only and their younger siblings from ages 5years to 13years, after school from 3:30pm till 5:30pm.

Information sheets on relevant topics that attendees are wanting to know more about will be available as well as local up and coming SEN friendly events, and more.
Itβs a chance to help and share your first hand experiences with others and build a support network not just for us parents & carers but For our children too.β
