“It’s a behaviour problem” “It must be a home problem” “We are not seeing it” These words are used like weapons against SEND families. More and more children are struggling in UK schools – and most of those children have Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND). But while policy makers, schools and the media have spent years trying to blame parents for the huge numbers of children “disappearing” from schools, no-one has looked at the deepest root of the the school system itself. Until now. In “We Are Not Seeing How & Why Mainstream Schools Break SEND Kids”, blogger and parent Luisa Gray (aka. @LongRoadSENDMum) explains what the drivers of the SEND emergency REALLY are—and how UK schools and Local Authorities are routinely causing harm to SEND harm that is massive, with potentially life-long effects. "We Are Not Seeing It" How anyone can be a SEND parent (and not know it yet!) "The Social Contract" we enter when we send our kids to school “Quality First Teaching” and how it fails to meet most kids' needs "Command & Control" discipline that's gone out of control SEND law, and how it’s routinely ignored Parent blame, child blame and gaslighting The devastating mental health impact on kids and parents And how all these factors have created the perfect storm in mainstream schools. "We Are Not Seeing It" is the book every parent of school-age children needs to listen to.
