SEND support: Listening Ear
Over the years Ruth has spent a lot of time listening and understands more than many the challenges and regular frustrations of parenting when your child has difficulties. This service is offered as a more unique ‘Listening Ear’ for a parent who may need someone to “simply talk’ to who understands and may be able to help with general problem solving. Professionals are increasingly busy following processes and pathways and there is less time to listen and talk.
| Following an initial discussion this option gives you reflective conversation about your child’s progress, development & difficulties. | Individual Pricing, usually £50 – £80 an hour. |
| 6 Months of ‘Listening Ear” Telephone Calls/ Check in with Ruth.
(Approx 6 hours) The calls can be focused on communication skills or more general listening/problem solving relating to being a parent of a child with SEN needs. |
