- Summary:
-
This guide explains basic principles of educating children in the United Kingdom with special educational needs and the role parents can play in their child's special education. The roles of the schools, Local Education Authority (LEA), and other professionals are also discussed. Help available to children before starting school is identified, along with what parents can do if they think their child has a learning difficulty before or after the child has started school. By law a child has special educational needs if he or she has learning difficulties and needs special help. This means that the child finds it much harder to learn than most children of the same age or has a disability which makes it difficult to use the normal educational facilities in the area. The guide includes information on the following: children under 5; children at school; assessments and statements (the statutory assessment, what parents can do if the LEA decides not to assess their child, what happens after a statement has been prepared for the child, the time involved in actions from the time of proposing an assessment to making a statement, annual review of the statement); disagreeing with the LEA; choices for the child after age 16; and educating sick children. Definitions of terms are also provided, along with a list of free publications and a directory of organizations. (SW)
