We help you understand what's going on and guide you toward the right support for your family.

What parents say
Real stories from families we've helped
I was drowning in paperwork and didn't know where to start with my son's EHCP. SEND Help connected me with someone who explained everything in plain English. For the first time in months, I felt like I wasn't alone.
My daughter's speech delay had me so worried. The speech therapist SEND Help recommended was amazing—patient, kind, and really understood what we needed. We're seeing real progress now.
When our son was diagnosed with ADHD, we had so many questions and no idea who to ask. SEND Help listened without judgment and pointed us toward resources that actually made sense for our family.

Questions you might have
Is this really free?
Yes, absolutely. SEND Help is completely free for families. We believe every parent deserves access to support and guidance, no matter their circumstances.
What types of needs do you help with?
All kinds. Whether your child has autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, speech delays, or sensory challenges, we're here to help you find the right support.
Are you replacing doctors or lawyers?
Not at all. We're here to help you understand your options and point you toward the right professional support. Think of us as a friendly guide in a confusing system.
Where do you help families?
We're based in the UK and support families across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Wherever you are, we're here to listen.
Do you give SEND advice?
No — SEND Help does not diagnose or offer professional advice. We simply connect you with trusted specialists who can help.
What does SEND Help actually do?
You tell us what's going on → we hand-pick vetted experts → you choose who to speak to. We are a matching and referral service, not a clinic.
What if I need urgent help?
SEND Help is not an emergency service. If you or your child are in immediate danger, call 999.
