Realising your child has special educational needs is stressful for any parent. Getting them the help they require can be a long, drawn-out, frustrating and expensive process. In the UK, the system of getting a statement of special educational needs is complicated for anyone to negotiate. This parent-to-parent book, written by the creator of the Special Needs Jungle website, Tania Tirraoro, tells parents what to do, how and when to do it in an easy to follow step-by-step approach. It includes real examples of successful applications for statutory assessment and placements so parents can see the evidence they need to prove their child's case. I only wish that I when I was going through the statementing process striving to get John Paul the right education, speech therapy and respite for the family that I had read this book.
