Wishing you all the best with exams
Here at oxme, we would like to wish all the best to everyone sitting exams.
Remember to rest and take extra care of your wellbeing.
Some young people find it harder to learn than other young people of the same age. About one in five young people have special educational needs or a disability and need some extra help to do their best at school or college.
This page is suitable for all readers, but also part of the Oxfordshire Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Local Offer which collects together information, services and support for children and young people in Oxfordshire with special educational needs and disabilities and their families.
All young people need the best support possible from their parents, carers and other supporting adults. Young people with challenges and disabilities are no different. There are organisations that can help parents and carers in different ways.
Some organisations offer advice about support services, and give parents and carers the chance to meet up with other people in the same situation. Other organisations can provide services such as advocacy.
The SEND Local Offer explains what learning, health and care services there are for children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Education Needs and Disabilities.
SENDIASS Oxfordshire (formerly Parent Partnership) helps parents, carers and others work together to give the best support to children with special educational needs.
It does this in a number of different ways.
This is an independent service which looks at the needs and voice of the young person with Special Educational Needs. The service also provides guides, leaflets, regular drop-in and information sessions and more.
Crucial: There are also groups for young people with SEN and disabilities. Visit for more information see our Activities for the Disabled page.
Advocacy is a way of helping children and adults to have their voice heard about important things.
