Real Talk for the Trenches
The SEN Side Quest isn't just another parenting podcast. We’re here for the real talk—the stuff that happens between the appointments and the meltdowns, without the fluff or the toxic positivity that often surrounds the neurodiversity journey.
Whether you're currently battling for an EHCP, navigating a new diagnosis, or just trying to survive the school run, we get it. This space is built for parents who need honesty, community, and a reminder that they aren't alone in their 'side quest' of raising neurodivergent kids.
Hosted by parents who are living it every day, we dive deep into the reality of SEN parenting with a tone that is supportive yet refreshingly blunt. No judgment, just shared experience and a lot of heart.
