Wandsworth’s Parent Carer Forum is run by a group of local Parents and Carers, who all have children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, so we can relate the issues faced by other parents and carers.
We are the voice of Parent Carers of children and young people (0-25 years of age) with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including those without a specific diagnosis.
We are a supportive group who, having been there ourselves, can understand the issues that many families are dealing with. We offer support by signposting parents and carers to the most appropriate services and organisations for advice and support.
We love this introduction to autism by amazing things. It aims to raise awareness among young non-autistic audiences, to stimulate understanding and acceptance in future generations.
It is intended to be viewed, discussed and shared widely by anyone but especially teachers and parents.
Wandsworth’s Family Information Service (FIS) have produced a guide to the most common abbreviations / terms commonly used by professionals, schools and other settings, in relation to Special Educational Needs and disabilities.
