Diverging Paths SEND Email Support

Clear SEND guidance, by email, at your pace

Every child's SEND journey is different, and navigating the education system can quickly become overwhelming. I provide practical, personalised email-based support for parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

  • Email only. No phone calls or meetings.
  • Email Support Sessions are answered within 48 hours, counted in working days, once all the information needed is received.

I can help you to

  • Understand the SEND process and your options.
  • Review and explain EHCPs and SEND paperwork.
  • Draft, edit and strengthen letters, emails and supporting documents.
  • Prepare for EHC Needs Assessments, Annual Reviews, mediation and SEND Tribunal appeals.
  • Understand issues relating to EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), EOTAS (Education Otherwise Than At School), home education and Section 19 duties.
  • Break complex information down into clear, manageable steps so you know what to do next.

Why email?

Everything is delivered entirely by email, allowing you to read information in your own time, revisit advice whenever you need to, and respond when it suits you, without the pressure of phone calls or meetings.

This approach is particularly helpful for neurodivergent parents and carers and for those who are hard of hearing.

Who you will be working with

I am a neurodivergent parent with professional experience in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, alongside lived experience of navigating EHCPs, EBSA, Home Education, EOTAS and the SEND Tribunal process. I understand how exhausting, confusing and time-consuming this journey can be.
