E-librarian questions on SENQuestionThe role of the parent in relation to early years care and education - a parent with SEN and/or a disability
I am currently completing an assignment on parenting a child with SEN. I want to consider how having a child with SEN can mean a parent becomes more involved in their child's learning and take on a different parenting role. Legislation/guidance document (e.g. SEN Code of Practice) support parental involvement and general research on parental involvement in the early years proposes finding ways to involve parents at there chosen level/in a way that is right for them - but I cannot find any/research or writers applying this to SEN.
A parent with a child with SEN may find themselves as part of multi-agency team which they may find difficult or acting as an "educator" training the early years settings about their child's additional needs. Taking a child to a setting and saying "you are the trained professional educate my child" is not generally an option. I am not saying that parents shouldn't be involved and there are research based benefits for the child. But am trying to examine the situation in more detail. I am looking for research/writers who have considered such issue and any ideas or strategies for ensuring that parents of children with SEN are involved in their child's learning to benefit the child but also in a way which makes them feel comfortable/is at the right level for them
