When my child was first diagnosed with special educational needs, I felt completely overwhelmed. The systems were confusing, the emotional weight was heavy, and I struggled to find anyone who truly understood what our family was going through — especially as a parent from an ethnic minority background where disability still carries so much stigma and silence.

I knew I wasn’t the only parent feeling this way. But finding culturally sensitive, holistic support felt almost impossible. So I set out to create the kind of support I wished I’d had — rooted in lived experience, compassion, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges SEND families face.
