Guides for Parents
- ACE Special Education Handbook
Description:
The seventh edition of this best selling guide takes a closer look at the SEN
(Special Educational Needs) Tribunal after its first year in operation. Parents
can appeal to the Tribunal on a range of matters concerning assessment and
statementing and this book describes how they can prepare and present a case.
Professionals as much as parents have found that the guide's detailed
step-by-step approach to the intricacies of assessment and statementing,
established by the 1993 Education Act and its Code of Practice, an invaluable
aid.
The handbook refers to much other relevant legislation, including the Children
Act 1989, includes model letters for parents, and explains reviews and
reassessment.

A little girl grows into a big girl between 10 years old and 15 years old.
Lots of different things happen to her body.
It changes a bit.
When a little girl grows into a big GIRL she grows taller. Usually - not always, after all, not everybody is tall are they?
These children are all 12 years old.
When a little girl grows into a big GIRL hair grows on other parts of her body than just on her head.
She gets hair on her bottom and under her arms.
An older boy gets hair on his face as well. He can either shave it off or grow a beard.
When a little girl grows into a big GIRL she will have 'periods' once a month for 3 or 4 days.
One day she will find a little bit of blood in her pants.
When a little girl grows into a big GIRL her shape changes.
She gets breasts and hips.
Her body is getting ready for when she is a woman and
can have babies.
This will mean that her 'period' has started.
She will be able
to use sanitary towels for a few days to keep herself and her clothes clean.
Periods are nothing to be frightened of.
They mean that a girl's body is
changing into a woman's body so that when she is older and married she can have
babies.
The blood is nothing to be worried about.
It is the body's way of getting rid of
extra blood that it doesn't need.
She may have tummy aches or headaches or feel grumpy at this time of the month.
But she will feel better in a few days.
If you want to talk to anyone about this talk to
your mum or
your teacher or
your good friend.
