The parents who created their own SEN summer camp

Advertisements

Trisha Wilson attended the sessions with her six-year-old son, Caleb, who has autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

She had already tried Caleb in two other summer schemes, but felt they were not suitable for him, as they did not provide specific provisions for SEN children.

“There was no one there with special educational needs and they did not have the capacity to help children with SEN,” she said.

During one of these sessions, Caleb, actually managed to get out of one of the centres and tried to run to the main road.

“It was very frightening”, said Trisha, “I had the groups calling me to come and get him because they could not cope with him.”

Wilson said that without this summer camp, her son would have nothing.

“Stuff like this does help, because all the children are neurodiverse, so they can play together and all the mothers are understanding,” she added.
