Given the misinformation and confusing guidance out there about Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), it is no wonder, as a parent, you might be feeling frustrated and alone.

Through clear, accessible and relatable information, this book provides a solid knowledge base for journeying through the EHCP process from start to finish. From learning to identify your child's needs and how to apply for an EHCP to what to expect from mediation and implementing and maintaining an EHCP once you have one, you'll have all the information you need to make the right decisions for you and your child. Real stories from parents provide an opportunity to learn from others' experiences and you'll also be able to access to lots of helpful tools including downloadable timelines, template letters and forms for gathering evidence.

Combining their experience of the EHCP process as a professional and a parent, Dr Abigail Fisher, an educational psychologist and teacher, and Eliza Fricker, a Sunday Times bestselling author and illustrator, bring you this go-to guide to help you feel prepared and validated on your EHCP journey.

    This easy to read guide is one of the most important resources to hit the SEN shelves in recent years; a fantastic support for parents wanting to negotiate an arduous system in which clarity is often hard to find. If you're going to wade through the quagmire of our EHCP system, take Abi and Eliza with you.

  • Jessie Hewitson, author of Autism: How to Raise a Happy Autistic Child and ADHD: How to Raise a Happy ADHD Child

    This book is a lifeline for parents navigating the Education, Health and Care Plan process. Abigail Fisher and Eliza Fricker manage to combine professional expertise with lived experience, giving clarity and reassurance in what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming system. The step-by-step guidance, real-life stories, and practical tips make this an essential companion for any parent who wants to secure the right support for their child. Accessible, compassionate, and empowering - and more needed than ever in today's challenging educational climate - I cannot recommend it highly enough.

  • Alice Running (PgC Autism), Neuroaffirming Autistic Advocate and Author

    This book is a best friend and advocate in one - guiding parents through the complexities of the EHCP process using plain language, realism and grounded advice. The book's level-headed approach balances the role of the local authority with how parents and families navigating the process feel, acknowledging frustrations and providing many practical ways to overcome these challenges. An accessible and comprehensive companion for reducing parental overwhelm at any stage of the EHCP process.

  • Reena Anand, Neurodiversity Consultant and Coach

    As a parent who navigated the EHCP process seven years ago, I wish this guide had existed then. It demystifies the jargon and steps, offers practical strategies families can use straight away and weaves in diverse parent stories that reduce the feeling of isolation. This book is a compassionate and empowering companion for parents and carers starting this journey.

  • Laura Kerbey, Autism and Education Consultant, Author and Founder of PAST

    This book clearly, simply and honestly explains the sometimes overwhelming and complicated process of navigating the EHCP process. Abigail and Eliza's combination of professional and personal experiences, case studies, interviews and illustrations make this book an absolute must read for any parents considering an EHCP for their child.

  • Jodie Clarke, author of Stop the World I Want to Get Off

    Navigating the world of SEN can be stressful and confusing. Eliza and Abigail have produced a fantastic guide based on both their personal and professional experiences of the EHCP process and beyond, which removes some of the anxiety from the reader. The guides takes you on a journey of thinking differently and asking questions that go towards understanding your child and their rights leaving you feeling more confident in advocating for them.
