It wasn’t until Louise Dawson’s eldest child, Dylan, was in around Year 3 or 4 that it became obvious to her he had learning difficulties. Prior to that, she and his teachers had noticed some delay with Dylan, and they weren’t particularly concerned.

Louise recalls the anxiety and mother’s guilt at the time, and her struggle to find the right education and support. It’s a fascinating story and there are lessons for other parents who may have children with special educational needs.
