“No-one’s story should ever involve a parent needing to remove a child from school in order to teach them to read and write. If we had to do this for all our children, there would be national uproar.” Chantal has seen first hand the need for a greater understanding of the potential to learn in students with complex needs, and the immeasurable difference that being able to read and write makes. This has driven her determination to make a difference for those children through Teach Us Too; to push the agenda of literacy education for children with complex access needs and disabilities; to encourage teachers to raise their expectations of these pupils and to share knowledge, understanding, skills and expertise within a community of like-minded professionals.
