[QUOTE="keycare, post: 157751, member: 12187"] SEN simply means specials needs required when your child is at school. Do not confuse with educational needs. My daughter is T1 and is at Primary school year 6, she has a statement of special needs which is envaluable to obtaining help for her whilst in school. Currently she has a 1/2 time dedicated carer paid for by the local health authority who spends all morning in the same class as her and is on hand during the afternoon. This will dissappear when she goes to comprehensive school but the statement will remain. This does not mean she is mentally disabled! She just needs additional care when dealing with diabetes stuff. Just in the same way that a child with physical disabilities is not mentally disabled but it would be clear that they need special attention whilst at school. I think all children with T1 should have a statement of special needs as it can be used to ensure that the school adheres to certain standards of care. e.g providing a safe environment to inject or test, provide protocol and 1 to 1 care if/when a hypo occurs, etc. [/QUOTE]
