Things parents ask us

  • What support should my child be getting at SEN Support?
  • What is an EHCP and how do I request one?
  • My child's school says they can't meet their needs. What are my options?
  • How do I prepare for an Annual Review?

What you get

How SpektraBot helps

Practical support in plain English, at whatever stage you're at.

  • Ask anything, anytime

    Type a question in your own words and get a clear answer straight away.

  • Know what the school should be doing

    Most children get help at school through SEN Support, without needing a plan. The school should assess, plan, do and review. SpektraBot helps you ask for that support, and your child does not need a diagnosis first.

  • Prepare for meetings

    Walk into annual reviews and school meetings knowing what to ask.

  • Understand EHCPs

    Asking for an assessment, waiting for a decision, or already have a plan? What should be in it, how the process works, and what to do if you disagree.

  • Help with letters

    Get guidance on writing to the school or the local authority, in your own words.

  • Social care and SEND

    What happens when a social worker is involved: PEPs, the Virtual School Head, and how care plans sit alongside EHCPs.

You are not imagining it

If this sounds familiar

The SEND system asks a lot of families. None of this is your fault.

  • Jargon everywhere

    SEN Support, EHCPs, annual reviews, Section F. SpektraBot explains what the words mean, and what they mean for your child.

  • Doing it all alone

    Chasing letters and meetings is exhausting. SpektraBot is there at any hour, so you can ask questions when you have the headspace.

  • Rights that are hard to pin down

    Your child has legal rights, but finding them shouldn't be a research project. SpektraBot shows you what the law says and where it says it.

The bigger picture

The system is hard. That's not your fault.

Long waits, confusing forms and doors that should be open but aren't. The barriers are real, and they belong to the system, not your child.

It shouldn't take a fight to get a child the right help. Support should start early, at school, and for most children that should be enough. When it isn't, or when a plan is what your child needs, SpektraBot helps you take that step too.

You don't have to take our word for it. The numbers tell the same story.
