For me, it was my Grandfather, who believed in me completely and thought that I could accomplish anything I set out to do.
At the age of 14, I said I wanted to be a writer.
“Fine,” he said. “You’ll go to the Columbia School of Journalism.”
A Facebook follower suggested today that I apply to the International Bureau for Epilepsy for one of their Global Teams.
You probably remember that my introduction to epilepsy wasn’t a rosy one. (Whose is?)
It really wasn’t until once I was older and came out of the closet that I was willing to share my “dirty little secret”.
And now look where I am…
I call epilepsy the “stealth condition,” because most people don’t actually witness a seizure.
Which results in an abundance of ignorance…misinformation..and to be frank, discrimination and slurs.
Special educational ensures that your child needs are met (legally) if they have learning difficulties that need special help at school.
Technically, it’s called a special education provision.
And there may be a special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) at the school who can look at your child’s needs, alongside the school’s governing body (often the local authority’s education department).
