EP 144 | Shabnum Bi on Early Intervention in SEND and IEP Systems

from Stress-Free IEP® · host Frances Shefter

Shabnum Bi breaks down why parent partnership isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of strong SEND and IEP support from the very start. She explains how the early years can either prevent long-term challenges or allow them to grow, and what families often miss in those critical first steps. You’ll learn how early intervention works across systems, the key differences and overlaps between SEND and IEP approaches, and what the UK gets right—but fails to fully support. This episode helps parents better understand their role, spot risks early, and take action before small concerns become bigger problems.Reach Shabnum here: https://www.earlynurturepreschool.co.uk/Need our help?
