Teachers’ Resource Pack
Starting school, transitioning into high school and graduating to further education are all changes that children, regardless of whether they have a disability or not, experience. These are ‘normal’ milestones that are celebrated but also approached with apprehension for both children and their parents. Save Our Sons has developed this educational
resource to help teachers, educational assistants and other multi-disciplinary team members to better.
