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 withadditional 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.
