A mum on a mission to help parents with special needs children has offered her advice for everyone in the family - and says 'knowledge is power'. She says connecting with others is also vital for mums and dads on the SEN journey.
Emma Pinnock spent 20 years in education, mostly working with children with special needs, and then had a son who was born with Down's syndrome. She said she felt she had the tools she needed thanks to her work but her husband’s experience was very different.
She has now shared her advice and experiences on the Brummie Mummies Podcast, Birmingham Live reports. Her tips include finding the right support groups, be flexible and patient and get the right professionals involved.
