๐Ÿ“ฌ Post SEND ๐Ÿ’Œ ๐Ÿงฉ
I wanted to share something Iโ€™ve just taken part in, in case it resonates with anyone else.
Itโ€™s called Post SEND โ€” a quiet, anonymous project inviting people connected to SEND to send a short reflection by post about what SEND has meant to them.
Thereโ€™s no online submission, no paperwork, and no expectation to share your whole story.
First name only. Share only what feels safe.
----------------------------
Iโ€™ll share what I wrote, as an example of the kind of thing theyโ€™re asking for:
My name is Ellie.
Iโ€™m connected to SEND as a parent.
SEND, for me, has meant learning that behaviour is communication, that overwhelm isnโ€™t defiance, and that regulation comes before expectation.
Itโ€™s meant unlearning what I was taught about โ€œcopingโ€ and relearning how to listen โ€” to my children and to my own nervous system.
SEND has been exhausting, isolating, and often invisible.
But it has also made me slower, more observant, and more compassionate than I ever was before.
Iโ€™m still learning.
Mostly, Iโ€™m learning that none of us were broken โ€” we were just unsupported.
------------------------------
Iโ€™m sharing this not to ask anyone to explain themselves, but to let you know the option exists.
If youโ€™re curious, you can look up Post SEND and decide in your own time.
And if now isnโ€™t the moment โ€” thatโ€™s completely okay too.
