I am truly grateful to Talking SENse! for meeting with me ‘out-of-hours’ both at home and at times at my place of work. As a working mum this service has been invaluable to me. I’ll certainly be recommending you to other parents at my son’s school

Mrs M … Walsall

I recommend everyone to use Talking SENse! as I want people to have the close support we did. Families need one to one. They need fully trained and up-to-date services that not only advise but advocate too. An independent service is imperative to gain the knowledge a family needs to get exactly the provisions their child is entitled too. Talking SENse! is run by a man, and his committee who go above and beyond their job title.

Mrs S… Walsall

Thank you so much Ken and Talking SENse for your time and patience! Because my reading and writing my not be right, you helped me write my reports for the assessment and statement process for my son. I will definitely be in touch when I get the draft statement and have already recommended your service to my friends.

Ms S. M … Walsall

Thank you for the independent advice Ken. You and Talking SENse! came very highly recommended by so many parents I spoke too. Keep up the good work!

Ms. C. H … Birmingham

Thank you for helping me to write to the LA concerning their decision to amend my son’s statement illegally. They have since changed their decision; I dread to think what might have happened had you not helped me.

Mrs. R … Dudley

Thank you Ken for all your support/help in the last 12 months and getting Shaun into the school for his needs and where he will thrive. You do an amazing job at helping those lost in the SEN system to become happy in an education.

Mrs S. T in Somerset

Dear Ken, what can I say? Just brilliant! Your EHCP Check report is truly great. I cannot thank you enough for your in-depth assessment of my son’s draft EHC plan. I’m sure I will be in touch for the next stage as your service is truly invaluable. Kind regards, Ms. Hill

Ms. Hill

Hi Ken, Oh what can I say!!! I have just stopped crying, HAPPY tears of course. I just want to say a massive THANK-YOU for everything you have done to help, support & fight for us. What you do for so many families is just amazing. From the bottom of my heart thank-you. My beautiful son will now be able to reach for those stars. So very grateful. N. Perry
