Support for wherever you are in your SEND journey

I'm just beginning to wonder

Your first steps

You might be noticing behaviour or struggles at home or school that you don't quite understand.

Perhaps your child is struggling with emotions, communication, learning, friendships or sensory needs and you're wondering what it all means.

We can help you make sense of what you're seeing, talk through your concerns and explore practical things you can try at home and what support might be helpful next.

You don't need a diagnosis or any plan before you ask for help.

I need help understanding my child's needs

Understanding your child

You can come to Seed & Sun before you have a diagnosis, EHCP or formal plan.

We'll listen to what you're noticing, help you make sense of your concerns and explore what support might be helpful next.

We need more support

SEND Support & Family Guidance

When things are becoming difficult, it can be hard to know what to ask for or where to turn.

We'll help you understand your child's needs, explore appropriate support, evaluate what support may already be in place and think through the next steps, whether that's home guidance and support, working with school, seeking further advice or completing referrals.

We're considering an EHCP

EHCP Application

An EHCP application can feel confusing, extensive and stressful, particularly when you're trying to explain your child's needs while navigating a complicated system.

We'll help you understand the process, gather your evidence and make sure your child's needs and your family's experiences are clearly represented.

With a quick turnaround, we can help you move forward without unnecessary delays when you need support now.

We have a draft EHCP

Understanding & Reviewing Your Draft

An EHCP should tell the story of your child, their needs and clearly set out the support they need.

We'll help you work through the draft, identify what's missing, unclear or inaccurate, and write changes to strengthen the EHCP in a timely manner.

Annual review coming up?

Annual Review Support

An annual review is an opportunity to step back and ask: Is this plan still right for my child?

We'll help you prepare, understand what should be considered and make sure your child's current needs, progress and aspirations are reflected accurately and clearly.

We also offer supportive attendance to families who need it.

I need to understand our rights

Our rights

SEND law and guidance can feel like a language of its own.

We'll help you make sense of your child's entitlements, the support they should be receiving and what schools and settings are expected to do.

From understanding SEND Support and school support plans to reasonable adjustments, the SEND Code of Practice and your rights, we'll help you understand what's expected and what to do when things don't feel right.

You shouldn't have to know the law to know when something isn't working.

I need help putting it into words

Need help putting it into words?

Sometimes you know something needs to change, but finding the right words can feel impossible.

We can help you put your concerns, requests and experiences clearly into writing, from letters to schools and professionals to supporting statements, including DLA applications.

We'll help you communicate your child's needs clearly, confidently and in a way that reflects your family's experience.
