ABOUT ME
Lindsey Sloan
​Advocating for your child is a natural, though often demanding, part of parenthood. But when your child has additional needs, the journey can be pretty bumpy, and at times overwhelming, I’ve been there. As an Army family, we moved house every two years on average, meaning my children had to start over in new schools just as often. Each move meant new teachers, new systems, and often going back to the bottom of waiting lists. I already knew they were struggling, but constant relocations made things even harder. Only after years of struggle and fighting did we finally secure a diagnosis of ADHD for my son, as well as severe Dyslexia. My daughter on the other hand was diagnosed with Dyslexia, and later self-identifying as Autistic in adulthood. Understanding their diagnoses has been life-changing, helping them navigate the world, on their own terms.
MY APPROACH
Compassion and Expertise
I have a friendly, empathetic, and compassionate approach, I prioritise building relationships with families, giving them the confidence and guidance they need to advocate for their children. I remain focused yet approachable, ensuring parents receive the practical support and expert advice necessary to secure the right help for their child. My goal is to help use my SEN knowledge, experience and SEN law to your advantage. I’ll make sure you fully understand all options, the possible pathways, and how to remove the barriers you will face. I’ll be there through the tough times—when the fight feels too big—helping to ease the stress and reminding you to care for yourself as well as your child’s future. Together, we’ll make the most of this critical time in your child’s life, with highly personalised practical SEN help, advice and guidance tailored to your, and your child's, specific needs.
