About

Hi, I’m Clare.

I’m a single SEND mum navigating autism, disability, burnout, advocacy and the realities of raising children with additional needs.

Mother SEN was created because I know how isolating SEND parenting can feel.

Behind appointments, meetings, school battles, therapies and daily care, there is often a parent carrying an invisible mental load that few people truly understand.

For over a decade, I have lived the reality of SEND life. I have experienced the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the advocacy battles, the heartbreak, and the small victories that mean everything.

This space exists to provide:

Support
Honest conversations about SEND parenting, burnout and wellbeing.

Advocacy
Sharing experiences, raising awareness and helping parents feel empowered to speak up for their children.

Community
A place where parents can feel understood, connected and less alone.

Real Motherhood
No perfection. No filters. Just the reality of life behind the scenes.

If you’ve found your way here, I hope Mother SEN reminds you of one thing:

You are not alone.

With Love,

Clare

Founder of Mother SEN
