A breakdown of Child (A)’s presentation within the classroom, this doc can be adapted and used with the Core Deficit Download for presenting your child’s traits and needs within an educational setting. Parents can utilise the RESOURCE: What It Is To Be Me as a powerful advocacy tool to present their child’s unique traits, needs, and classroom experiences in a structured, emotionally resonant format. Adaptable alongside the Core Deficit Supporting Tool, it helps translate lived experience into statutory language—bridging the gap between emotional presentation and lawful provision. By detailing how a child navigates sensory input, executive functioning, social interaction, and emotional regulation, parents can use this resource to:
- Inform SEN Support plans and APDR cycles with personalised, evidence-based input
- Strengthen EHCP requests by aligning traits with statutory definitions of need
- Amplify the child’s voice in meetings, reviews, and complaints
- Challenge narrow academic narratives by showing how unmet needs affect access to learning
It’s especially effective when paired with professional reports or difficulty rating tools, helping schools and local authorities understand the full picture—and act lawfully.
