Make diagnosis enough for children with SEN to get the help and provision needed

Throughout the UK there are thousands of children struggling in mainstream school. My son is one of many. He is Aspergers/ADHD. He needs a specialist provision and one on one support. He and all of the other children are made to fail the system before they qualify for help. Something needs to change
