Real stories from parents provide an opportunity to learn from others' experiences and you'll also be able to access to lots of helpful tools including downloadable timelines, template letters and forms for gathering evidence.

This easy to read guide is one of the most important resources to hit the SEN shelves in recent years; a fantastic support for parents wanting to negotiate an arduous system in which clarity is often hard to find. If you're going to wade through the quagmire of our EHCP system, take Abi and Eliza with you.
Jessie Hewitson, author of Autism: How to Raise a Happy Autistic Child and ADHD: How to Raise a Happy ADHD Child
This book is a lifeline for parents navigating the Education, Health and Care Plan process. Abigail Fisher and Eliza Fricker manage to combine professional expertise with lived experience, giving clarity and reassurance in what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming system. The step-by-step guidance, real-life stories, and practical tips make this an essential companion for any parent who wants to secure the right support for their child. Accessible, compassionate, and empowering - and more needed than ever in today's challenging educational climate - I cannot recommend it highly enough."
Alice Running (PgC Autism) - Neuroaffirming Autistic Advocate and Author
This book is a best friend and advocate in one - guiding parents through the complexities of the EHCP process using plain language, realism and grounded advice. The book's level-headed approach balances the role of the local authority with how parents and families navigating the process feel, acknowledging frustrations and providing many practical ways to overcome these challenges. An accessible and comprehensive companion for reducing parental overwhelm at any stage of the EHCP process.
Reena Anand, Neurodiversity Consultant and Coach
As a parent who navigated the EHCP process seven years ago, I wish this guide had existed then. It demystifies the jargon and steps, offers practical strategies families can use straight away and weaves in diverse parent stories that reduce the feeling of isolation. This book is a compassionate and empowering companion for parents and carers starting this journey.
