"It is too bad we have not heard from parents with young children in school or home school now. I may be wrong but I do believe that teachers are more atune to both disabilities and exceptionally bright children than they were even ten years ago. "

I have a nine-year old daughter in school. She has SEN which have been recognised and she has been put on the gifted and talented register in two subjects. There are other children in her class wh
have different SEN and they, too, are receiving the help appropriate to their needs. The school has recognised their varying requirements and has taken the correct action, in discussion with the parents. Yes, I certainly believe that things have greatly improved in the last 10 years.
