SEN Talk CIC is a London based non-profit organisation working to transform social and emotional determinants of well-being and promoting societal inclusion at large for children and young people with social communication conditions, Autistic Spectrum Conditions, Attention Deficit Disorders, and other related social and emotional mental health difficulties. Our cohort of children are from 5 years – 16 years, and age groups have been increased in recent years in response to the growing need within the community and the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on marginalised group, especially those with disabilities. Sadly, children with SEN are 6 times more likely to experience exclusion from education, are extremely high risk for permanent exclusions and are significantly lower attaining than peers. All factors known to contribute to the trajectory to poorer outcomes in later life.
Our organisation works at a grassroots level within the community, helping vulnerable families to access the right support at the right time. We work to empower families and support children and young people develop key skills to improve outcomes across areas of their lives.
"It really has been a lifeline since being introduced to the service a year ago. Annaliese, the director and founder is always there to listen and offers helpful, informative and supportive advice. She truly understands the challenges faced by families with children with additional needs and is always ready to help in any way she can. The Brick club sessions my younger son attends has really helped improve his social communication skills and the support and help Annaliese has given my older son whilst he has had difficulties at school has been invaluable."
