EPs with lived experience of SEND / parenting a young person with SEND/AEN

Aims, vision and purpose

This group is a private Facebook group.

This is a space for educational psychologists, TEPS and Asst. EPs with lived experience of SEND/neurodivergence.

This may include (but is not limited to):

  • Parenting a child with SEND/additional needs/ND
  • Being neurodivergent
  • Having personal or family experience of SEND

The group is intended as a reflective, respectful space where professional knowledge and lived experience can sit alongside each other. It is not a place for formal advice-giving or case discussion. Instead, it is a space to:

  • Share reflections and experiences
  • Connect with others who “get it”
  • Explore the overlap between practice and personal life.

Confidentiality, respect, and care for one another are essential in this group.

Please note it is a closed group. Membership is limited to qualified or trainee educational psychologists or assistant EPs who identify with the above. EPs etc are very welcome there if this resonates with them. 

You can find the Facebook group here.
