Parent & School Scripts for SEND Meetings
Parent & School Scripts for SEND Meetings
Don’t go into that meeting without your words
Personalised wording for SENCo meetings, EHCP reviews, CAMHS appointments, GP referrals, Right to Choose conversations and other important SEND meetings.
When you know what you want to say but worry the words will disappear once the meeting starts, I help you turn your concerns into clear, calm and purposeful language.
Choose Your Script from the options below.
Personalised to your child, your meeting and the outcome you need.
Because “I wish I’d said that” usually arrives in the car park after that meeting…
You know your child.
But when you are sitting across from several professionals, trying to remember reports, incidents, questions and what you actually came to ask for, it is surprisingly easy to lose your thread.
A personalised script gives you:
a clear opening
the key points to raise
focused questions
wording for difficult responses
requests for agreed actions
a strong closing statement
You still speak in your own voice. You simply do not have to find all the words under pressure.

Script Clarification Call
For parents who have purchased a Parent Script and want to talk it through before the meeting, call or review.
This 40-minute session gives you the chance to go over your script with me so you feel clear, prepared and confident before you use it. We look at what the script says, why it is worded that way, what points matter most, and how to deliver it without sounding apologetic, overwhelmed or ready to launch yourself across the table.
This is ideal if you have read your script and thought:
“Yes, this is exactly what I need to say… but I want to make sure I understand how to use it properly.”
What this session gives you
You will leave with:
A clear understanding of your script
We go through the wording so you know what each section is doing and why it matters.Confidence about what to say first
Because the opening of a meeting often sets the tone — and “I’m not sure where to start” is not the energy we are aiming for.Help to prioritise the key points
We identify what must be said, what can wait, and what should not get lost in the meeting fog.Preparation for possible responses
We talk through what school or professionals may say back, and how you can respond calmly and firmly.Support with tone and delivery
So you sound clear, reasonable and prepared — not defensive, rushed or accidentally too soft.A stronger sense of your next step
You know what you are asking for, what outcome you want, and what needs to be confirmed after the meeting.
This is useful if:
You have an upcoming meeting with school, SENCo, local authority or another professional
You want reassurance that you understand the script properly
You are worried you may get emotional, sidetracked or talked over
The situation feels sensitive, tense or complicated
You want to feel more prepared before walking into the room

Not sure what to do next. Book a FREE 30-minute touch base - no sales talk.
A calm, no-pressure conversation giving you time to explain what is happening and work out what your next step could be.
This call is for parents, grandparents and carers of children with any diagnosed or suspected SEND—not only ADHD.
Your child may be experiencing difficulties connected with autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, anxiety, sensory needs, communication, learning, school attendance, emotional regulation or executive functioning. They may have several overlapping needs, or no diagnosis at all.
Children’s needs rarely arrive in neat, separate boxes. ADHD may overlap with autism, dyslexia, anxiety or sensory differences. A dyslexic child may also experience frustration, emotional overwhelm, shutdowns or meltdowns when learning demands repeatedly exceed the support available.
This is not a sales call. There is no hard pitch, no awkward pressure and absolutely no “book before midnight” nonsense.
During the call, we can talk about:
what is worrying you most right now;
what is happening at home, at school or both;
the difficulties or patterns you have noticed;
whether learning needs, masking, anxiety, sensory overload or emotional regulation may be part of the picture;
questions you may need to ask school, your GP, CAMHS or an assessment service;
which SEND, NHS or school-support pathway may be worth exploring;
whether ADHD in Practice is the right fit for your family.
Your child may already have a diagnosis, be waiting for an assessment or simply have you thinking, “Something isn’t adding up.”
You do not need to arrive knowing the correct terminology. You do not need to decide whether it is ADHD, autism, dyslexia or something else before speaking to me.
Just tell me what is happening. We can begin there.
