In Solihull we believe that every child and young person matters. We know that many children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or additional needs may need more support in their life. We have therefore been working with them, their parent carers, and those who support them to write our first Additional Needs Strategy.
Useful links and resources to help you and your child, covering a range of themes and linking you in with services and resources specific to individual areas of need.
The Autism Team would like to give a very warm welcome to our parents of children with Autism. We hope you find our parents page supportive and informative.
We have a positive practical approach to supporting travel between home and school. Our principles are to empower, enable and support the development of independence wherever possible and as soon as possible.
The Autism Team are part of the Specialist Inclusion Support Service (SISS). We are all experienced practitioners, with a specialism in autism and experience of working with children of all ages in both mainstream and specialist settings.
We want to work together with parents, young people and our partners to make the SEND process go smoothly for everyone. Unfortunately, sometimes things do go wrong, but it is best if they are sorted out as quickly as possible.
The Solihull SENDIAS (Special Educational Needs and Disability Information Advice and Support) are here to support children and young people with SEND and their parents/carers.
Any concerns about your child’s progress should be discussed with your child’s teacher, form tutor, pastoral lead and/or the school’s SENCO / SEMH co-ordinator.
