Social welfare & social services; Teaching of specific learning difficulties & needs; Advice on parenting

Given the misinformation and confusing guidance out there about Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), it is no wonder, as a parent, you might be feeling frustrated and alone.

Through clear, accessible and relatable information, this book provides a solid knowledge base for journeying through the EHCP process from start to finish. From learning to identify your child's needs and how to apply for an EHCP to what to expect from mediation and implementing and maintaining an EHCP once you have one, you'll have all the information you need to make the right decisions for you and your child. Real stories from parents provide an opportunity to learn from others' experiences and you'll also be able to access helpful advice about timelines, template letters and forms for gathering evidence.

Combining their experience of the EHCP process as a professional and a parent, Dr Abigail Fisher, an educational psychologist and teacher, and Eliza Fricker, a Sunday Times bestselling author and illustrator, bring you this go-to guide to help you feel prepared and validated on your EHCP journey.
