What do we do?
Education Health Care Plans
The EHC Plan is a legal document setting out what support children with Special Education Needs or Disabilities will receive and is preceded by an Education Health and Care Assessment.
Accessing transport to school or college
Depending on your child’s needs – you may be eligible for free transport to enable your child to attend school or college.
Claiming disability benefits
I can offer advice on claiming the right benefits for your child and also assist with filling out the forms for both Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payments, Carers Allowance, Blue Badge and any other associated benefits that may apply.
Embrace East Sussex – Eastbourne
Embrace East Sussex is my chosen Charity that I continue to support (I co-founded Embrace in 2014).
The Charity continues to provide excellent support and respite for families of children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities.
They run an established Saturday Club, which incorporates their parent support group.
