About the Book

In this compassionate and practical guide, Alicia Cohen shares invaluable insights and hard-won wisdom gleaned from her experience navigating the mainstream school system with her special-needs child. Written specifically for parents and carers of children with special needs - from ADHD and autism to dyslexia, physical disabilities and mental health challenges - this accessible resource combines emotional support with actionable advice. It's not just about educational strategies - it's about finding your path, building an effective support team, understanding your rights, managing the emotional rollercoaster and remembering to care for yourself while advocating for your child. Featuring personal stories from parents, educators and professionals, this guide provides diverse perspectives on the mainstreaming journey. While mainstreaming isn't for the faint-hearted, with the right approach it can be a rewarding experience for your special-needs child and your whole family.

About the Author :
Alicia Cohen is an educational publisher and mother of two, whose journey into advocacy began when her child was diagnosed. Alicia has combined her professional background and lived experience to create the resource she wished she had during her own path of supporting a child with additional needs in a mainstream school setting.

Review :
An informative and practical guide that honestly depicts the challenges and joys of navigating the mainstream school system with your special-needs child. A brilliant read for parents/carers and teachers alike. Luca Dickinson, classroom teacher An extremely straightforward and insightful guide for families navigating their 'new normal'. You can pick up Alicia's book and read the chapter that relates to your current time and challenges - like a checklist for navigating the early years. Rebecca Mercuri, We Rock the Spectrum sensory-safe gym As an experienced educator, I've spent years working in schools, but nothing prepared me for the emotional intensity of navigating mainstream education as a parent of a child with additional needs. The rules felt different, the stakes felt higher, and the path was anything but clear. Alicia's writing gently lit the way forward, offering practical support, heartfelt encouragement and the deep reassurance that I wasn't alone. Meg Durham, mother, podcaster and wellbeing specialist This book is an incredible resource for anyone negotiating mainstream education for children with additional needs. It offers a diverse range of much-needed perspectives, including stories from parents and educators that show we're not alone and we can make it through the tough times. As an educator and a parent myself, this is an essential read. Leon Furze, author, educator, parent
