Myth Busting - Educational needs aren't special

Jodie Greer, chats with Mandy Aulak, Director and Co-Founder at Talem Law and mother, about how educational needs can be met, what parents can do to get the support their children need, and some of the specifics of UK legislation when it comes to educational needs.

Jodie and Mandy are busting the myth that:

"A child who gets good grades at school, can't have educational needs”.

Whether you're a parent, planning a family, work in education, or care about the education system where you are, this is an episode not to miss.

Mandy is a brilliant guest speaker, as she shares from the position as a special educational needs (SEN) lawyer, and as a mother of a son with his own needs. Mandy also talks about her son's very impressive mental skill, it's mind blowing.

Jodie will share why she really dislikes the word "special" in SEN, and looks forward to a more inclusive future where education is concerned.
