"I started this particular course to develop my own personal understanding for my son and supporting him as knowledge is power and I wanted to understand more about his entitlements and the EHCP process, it has also made me look into job opportunities where my newfound knowledge will assist me into learning more and resulting in a job within a SEND environment. I've recently volunteered at a local primary school for 1:1 reading and I'm hoping I can develop my knowledge further; I am passionate about supporting these children and young adults and continuing my learning in this area."
