Essential EHCP Guide for Parents and Carers
Given the misinformation and confusing guidance out there about Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), it is no wonder, as a parent, you might be feeling frustrated and alone.
Through clear, accessible and relatable information, this book provides a solid knowledge base for journeying through the EHCP process from start to finish. From learning to identify your child's needs and how to apply for an EHCP to what to expect from mediation and implementing and maintaining an EHCP once you have one, you'll have all the information you need to make the right decisions for you and your child. Real stories from parents provide an opportunity to learn from others' experiences and you'll also be able to access to lots of helpful tools including downloadable timelines, template letters and forms for gathering evidence.
Combining their experience of the EHCP process as a professional and a parent, Dr Abigail Fisher, an educational psychologist and teacher, and Eliza Fricker, a Sunday Times bestselling author and illustrator, bring you this go-to guide to help you feel prepared and validated on your EHCP journey.
Eliza Fricker is a neurodivergent illustrator and author whose deceptively simple illustrations give way to endearingly perceptive and detailed observations, which are often irreverently humorous and highly emotional. Eliza is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Family Experience of PDA and Can't Not Won't.
