#9 How Autism, ADHD and my Modern Family drives me to help families with SEND get the help they need
My guest this week on Know Your Shift is Polly Elworthy, CEO at SEND Unlocked.
Polly’s journey is COMPLEX and INSPIRATIONAL, resulting in what Polly describes as a ‘Modern Family’.
Polly’s youngest son Rex has a diagnosis of AUTISM, ADHD, PDA & Dyslexia, but this doesn’t define him, and POLLY’S FIGHT to get Rex the support he needs led to the birth of SEND Unlocked, a platform designed to SUPPORT OTHER FAMILIES with additional needs to find the support they need and to have their say on the issues that IMPACT their families today.
We learn about how Polly was inspired by the incredibly STRONG FEMALE role models in her family and how she has made it her MISSION through SEND Unlocked to give other families the power to be the best despite having systems that make it difficult for them.
Polly recommended Ed Maxfield from NANSA for another episode of Know Your Shift, and we’ll hopefully have another great conversation like this one.
SEND Unlocked is a charity and RELIES ON the generosity of YOU and your organisations to help create the pathway to positive change for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, to get involved get in touch with Polly & the team on the links below.
