Hello my name is Amit and I am an Activity Co-ordinator at Leytonstone Children and Family Centre. Being a male practitioner with a disability can be challenging at times, but most of all very rewarding.
SEND is terminology used to identify children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) within the UK & Ireland. It can affect a child or young person’s ability to learn. It can affect their:
· Behaviour or ability to socialise, for example they struggle to make friends
· Reading and writing, for example because they have dyslexia
· Ability to understand things
· Concentration levels, for example because they have ADHD
· Physical ability
At The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity, we offer a wealth of support for children and their families. Each of neighbourhood has amazing sessions and groups on offer. Somewhere to Belong is an invite only group with specialist staff who support families that attend the six-week program. There are many ways that you can be referred into the group:
· Speaking with your Health Visitor
· Visiting a Speech and Language Therapist
· Attending any Children and Family Centre sessions
· Having a chat with an Early Help Practitioner
If you have any concerns about your child’s development, act now and give them the best start in life!
