WELCOME TO SEND@HEART
This website is born from a humble but deep desire to harness acquired skills from experience in the field of education and inclusion for over 35 years in the UK and South Africa. SEND@Heart is here to offer you a genuinely compassionate listening ear to help navigate the complex arena of special educational needs, with a particular focus on early identification of need. However the mission is so much wider than that. It is built around the powerful truth that:
Emotional Well-being is crucial for Effective Learning
That statement is not just about your child... it's about your well-being as a parent/educator of a child with additional needs. The powerful African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" tells us that raising children is a shared responsibility. A multitude of different adults; parents, extended family, teachers, relevant professionals etc., collectively act as a safety net and nurturing community for the next generation. Is it not simply logical then, that resources need to be poured into this community to "fill their cup" and empower their capacity to foster the growth and development of the children in their care? In other words...
A child's ability to learn effectively is deeply influenced by...
the emotional well-being of their parents and the surrounding community.
So let us work together and pour from a full cup! Our mission lies in cherishing the uniqueness of EVERY individual, supporting the village and driving home the truth that we all have...
Just one life to live!
Let us identify needs and support accordingly from as early on as possible,
to maximise the potential for success.
With this profound understanding as a guiding principle, we will offer you practical, considered and tailored support for individuals with/without identified special educational needs, empowering them to embrace life to the fullest. Through this holistic approach, we honour the inherent value of each person, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
