" Before I discovered WKAPPS I blamed myself for my daughter's struggles and behaviours. This group has been a life-saver for us as a family and gave me the confidence to fight for her needs within school. I now have a support network of people that understand and can learn from."
Emma
" This group has made me feel so welcome and heard. There is so much support, understanding and invaluable advice. The speakers are always brilliant and I always feel empowered by the group's knowledge and emotional support."
Natalie F
" Claudia's group has been an absolute life saver for me! Connecting with fellow SEN parents to share challenges, exchange solutions & information and simply the sigh of relief that I am not alone ! My top tip for SEN parents, 'find a support group like Claudia's'!"
J
"Being a part of this ASD group has been transformative. The support and nurturing environment have shown me that I'm not alone on this journey. Navigating the Neurodiverse path can be tough, but having this community behind me makes it worthwhile. I'm grateful for the connections and understanding we share as a family."
Laura Trott MP
"The work WKAPSS is doing locally is invaluable. I am grateful for your continued leadership and advocacy, and I will ensure your evidence is reflected in my wider work on SEND reform."
J L
"I am eternally grateful to the society for the support provided, through my affiliation with the various groups. In a huge black hole, void of support and advice, WKAPSS is definitely a beacon!"
