Testimonials
“When I first met Chris I was overwhelmed and angry with the whole SEN system. Chris has an ability to cut through the complexity of autism, SEN and EHCP processes and explain things in a way parents can truly understand. What sets him apart is genuine empathy — he understands how exhausting and emotional the journey can be, while providing calm, knowledgeable guidance that keeps the child at the heart of every decision. His support made a real and lasting difference to our family”.
“I only have good things to say about Chris.
His SEN experience spans 20 years, during which time he has set up two specialist Autism classes, one which he very successfully and empathetically managed for many years. Whilst he was head of the Specialist Autism Provision (in a large mainstream primary school) teaching in the class my child was in, we had nothing but support and brilliant communication. He truly loved working with SEN kids.Chris’s knowledge of the EHCP process, the SEN journey and all the bits in between is very detailed. He understands how the Local Authorities work and how to consider the very specific needs of the child and how detailed these need to be to be met in an educational setting.
It is also very rare to find a SEN advocate and teacher who understands Trauma and the effect this has on school life and everyday life. This includes school trauma, family trauma and looked after child trauma. Chris has experience here and is able to support families with these as specific considerations.
He listens and advises in a very impartial way, but is also very convictious in his desire to ensure your child has their needs met, is in the best setting for them to learn and with the best support to facilitate this.
I cannot recommend him enough”.
