SEN provision in mainstream primaries

[phasmid]

My aplolgies if you have already seen this on the education forum. However, I really do need your help. If you would be willing to take the time to fill in the survey it would be a big help (to those who have already - a BIG thank you). What would also be a help is if you would all spread the word about my research onto other websites or via e-mail newsgroups you belong too. I had hoped for many more responses thatn I have had to date. I need as many respondants as possible to be able to support my findings. Plenty of interest has been shown by various national groups who are assisting me by making their members aware - they are also keen on knowing the outcome of the research.

 

So, below (copied straight from the Education Forum) is the details of my research and website. I really do need your help:

 

 

I am the parent of 2 children with SEN, 1 has partial hearing loss and 1 has Aspergers Syndrome. I am currently a SEN Teaching Assistant in a mainstream primary school in the East of England. I am aiming to become a qualified teacher specialising in SEN.

 

I am currently studying SEN provision in MAINSTREAM ENGLISH Primary schools as my final year dissertation for a BA (Hons). a segement of my paper will be focussed on parental views of SEN provision and family support, in England. Below is a web link to my site:

I would be very grateful to any uk based parents who can spare me the time to fill the questionnaire in for me. I believe that things could be much better than they are and hope my research will provide proof of this.

 

Many thanks

Hi phasmid,

 

I've filled in the survey, hope its ok. As our sons statement has only just arrived it was sort of hard for me to judge how good the provision is going to be now...but if you have any questions about what I wrote, please feel free to email me and I can answer more fully (hopefully).

 

Tizz.

Just filled it in.

 

If I could make a suggestion.

 

The survey is excellent, but there is a need for ensuring there is a proper carryover of SEN provisions when moving from primary to secondary school.

 

Perhaps it is something you could think about including.

 

I only ask because when our son moved from primary to secondary, although everything was in place, his special needs were ignored in his first sceondary, even though we were fighting constantly.
