The SEND Sofa
The SEND Sofa
Podcast Description
One day last year after another overwhelming morning trying to get my distressed SEND son into school, I came home, slumped on the sofa and sobbed. I was at my wits’ end. I didn’t think I could do it a second longer. It made me think of all the other struggling SEND parents out there, possibly on their sofas, crying too. If I felt overwhelmed, so did they. If I was struggling, perhaps I wasn’t alone. The responsibility and pressure of raising a SEND child can sometimes be too much. How could I bring us all together? I wiped my tears, got out my notepad and pen and wrote the first words that came into my head: ‘The SEND Sofa.’ Holy Shiz. It appeared I was about to start a podcast!
And here it is! My name is Tahnee Morgan and my world was rocked when my son, Max, was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome in 2017, a rare genetic disorder that affects just 1 in 32,000 births worldwide. In this podcast, I delve into the good, the bad and the ugly of SEND life. Everything and everyone is welcome here. The vibe is genuine, heartfelt and relaxed as I provide a much-needed safe and comfortable space for SEND families to be open and honest about their journey. I will be chatting with parents, medical professionals, therapists and practitioners to gain a better understanding of all things SEND, while having a giggle (or a good cry) along the way.
So, grab a cuppa (or a glass of wine!) and join me on the Send Sofa.
