Your donation will change a child's life.1 in 5 children at school have some kind of special educational need. Thousands are not getting the right support. Their families are battling through a very complex system in order to get the support they need. IPSEA offers them free and unique support services.  

Michael missed 21 months of schooling. He happens to have autism and was permanently excluded from school. Following his exclusion, Michael’s mum expected the Local Authority (LA) to find Michael a place in another school. After all, the LA has a legal duty provide Michael with suitable education. Sadly, this did not happen. Months and months went by. Michael's mum tried and tried. She was advised to contact IPSEA. We quickly contacted the LA. They had not found an alternative school for Michael even though it had been 2 years since he was excluded.

We got the LA to place Michael in the school that his Mother had found. Michael is thriving there.
