Can anyone help??

Question

i am doing a course regarding working with children with special educational needs, i have to talk to a parent who has a child with sen and ask them about their feelings however i do not know what to say or how to say it can anyone help me please.

Answer 1

Go to your neighborhood elementary and talk to the vice principal. Explain your assignment. Possibly one of the staff or parent volunteers would be friendly and tell you  their opinions about their sen son or daughter.

Answer 2

Ask them if they would mind talking to you ,then talk to them as you would any parent.

Bear in mind all parents like to talk about their children.

Good luck.

Answer 3

when you say ask them about their feelings, is this the parents feelings about the special need? I would say you wanted to know some more info about any particular habit the child has, or their hobbies etc. I would then lead onto ask how the parent felt that their childs needs affected them like do they work better as a family unit etc. Good luck x*x

Answer 4

What is sen?

Answer 5
