Success Stories
See how we helped families triumph in their fight for the right education and support by turning their overwhelming journey into a story of success.
“We are grateful beyond words for Shannon’s dedication and expertise. She has gone above and beyond to help us fight for what is right for our son and to bring hope back into what has been a very difficult journey. Together, with God’s help, we did the impossible — the LA conceded to EOTAS. Thank you for all you’ve done for Samuel and our family. Shannon, you are a special part of our story — like family to us now. Lots of love, especially from Samuel. We are excited for the future! 💛💙”

“Absolutely love Shan, she is amazing and has helped me out so much with looking over my little ones EHCP and me with my tribunal. She goes above and beyond for us! Without Shan I would of given up because there have been times where I’ve called Shan crying over mediation, and she has helped us so much. I would highly recommend Shannon“
Laura S
“I have reached out to Shannon on lots of occasions regarding both daughters with autism and one also ADHD. Shannon is amazing at advocating what best routes to take and also has solved numerous amounts of difficulties. Shannon knowledge about acts and laws of additional system is something that has supported so many families by allowing them to have their own rights and voices heard. Shannon is not only full of knowledge but she also lives the life of a sen parent a mum who truly gets it all and can give her own experiences of every day life. Keep smashing it Shan! ❤️”

“Well what can I say, I actually love this girl more than my husband 🤣 She has not only won our appeal process and got our son into the correct education setting but she been my therapist on my tough days and after all stress. If your going into an appeal, yes I’d totally say have an advocate, and this is your women, she will have your back and always go above and beyond.. You are amazing Shannon!”

“I attended an online workshop with Shann and the things that were discussed were so informative, I have now a much better understanding of the education system and laws that surround it when it comes to SEND. It was delivered in a way that we all could understand, follow and digest making it so much easier to retain the information. I highly recommend All Things SEN & More to anyone who needs the information to assist them in any education issues Shann is so understanding and that’s what you need she will put you on the right path”

Hannah
“This girl can and she absolutely will fight for what is right for your child as well as the added support on a personal level. my confidence in Shannon grows more by the day if anybody knows their stuff it’s most definitely her. I don’t think anybody has ever had our backs more than Shannon both legally and supportively. Shannon has kept me going when I’ve not mentally had it in me to get what is needed for my son and I honestly would not recommend anybody else!”
Stephanie
“What can I say, I’d honestly be lost without Shannon fighting mine and my child’s right to education. Shannon supported myself in a meeting that usually I would find extremely daunting with multiple professionals all trying to force to sway the outcomes what they feel best for themselves, opposed to whats best for MY CHILD, with Shannon’s help knowledge and guidance along the way, we are now in prime position to be able to have my child back in an education setting RIGHT for him not what’s right for “anyone else””
Jasmine S
“Shannon has been the driving force behind our daughter’s EHCP application. She answered all our questions very patiently and was very quick to respond always.So far,the application process has been going really quick and smooth, all thanks to Shannon.We highly recommend Shannon!”
Ash R
“Shannon couldn’t have been more supportive! I contacted her the day my son was placed in a school that couldn’t meet his needs and it took Shannon less than two weeks to get my LA to agree to move him to our chosen specialist school! She kept my updated at every stage, and dealt with everything. I’ll be forever grateful as without her he’d be without a school.”
Holly L
“Definitely recommend shann. She has not only helped me 3 years ago getting my son in to sen school last year shann spent time fighting for my daughters ehcp to which she was granted one.

All I know is i would be lost in sen world with out her x”

“I would 100% recommend Shannon, after only having her advocate for us for a week, I already feel more confident and comfortable about my son getting the help and support he needs from school. Shannon is currently in the process of obtaining us an EHC and a SARs request and looking through it all. The service you receive is outstanding, I’m updated at every step of the way. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done so far. And I appreciate the time and effort being spent to help my family. X”

“I had the opportunity to attend Shannon’s workshop today and it exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be good, but it was extremely good. The session was incredibly informative—Shannon really knows her stuff, including the law, acts, and codes of practice. I highly recommend Shannon at All Things SEN. She is a true advocate for our children, demonstrating incredible compassion for families through her own experiences. Thank you, Shannon, for a wonderful day. I’ve learned so much. While it’s disheartening to see how many families and children are let down by the Local Authority, today’s session offered hope. It provided families with the knowledge and tools needed to give their children a better education and to never feel that they are fighting losing battle.”
Lisa G
“Shannon is incredible. After our son’s EHCP was refused again, she stepped in immediately and became his advocate. She goes above and beyond—always there, always supportive, and she truly knows her stuff.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without her. She gave us hope when we were ready to give up. If you need a SEN advocate, Shannon is the one—you’ll wish you found her sooner.”
Rachel C
“Shannon is amazing. I was feeling deflated and hopeless about getting my son’s EHCP in place. She arranged a free consultation and by the next day we had a formal complaint into our Local Authority.
Within 48 hours we had a response and finally feel like we are getting somewhere.
Shannon knew exactly what she was doing—confident, knowledgeable and so reassuring. The fight doesn’t feel overwhelming when I know she’s there. Thank you so much.”
Lea M
“Before meeting Shannon I had given up on the system completely. I was deflated and felt nobody was willing to fight for my daughter. I was wrong—I just hadn’t met the right person.
In 8 weeks she has shown outstanding support; nothing is ever too much trouble. For the first time I feel confident that we will get the support my daughter needs—and that is fully down to Shannon and her knowledge.”

“I would like to start by giving my wholehearted recommendation for Shannon Hill of All things SEN & team. Shannon is an exceptional Special Educational Needs (SEN) parental advocate whose impact has been nothing short of transformative.
From the very beginning, Shannon demonstrated an extraordinary depth of knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. Her ability to navigate the complex world of SEN is remarkable. More importantly, she approaches every situation with warmth, patience, and genuine empathy, ensuring that parents feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the entire process.
What sets Shannon apart is her unwavering commitment to securing the very best outcomes for the children and families they support. She advocates with a rare combination of tenacity and diplomacy, always grounded in a clear understanding of the child’s needs. Her communication is consistently clear, calm, and constructive, whether engaging with schools, local authorities, or other professionals.
Thanks to Shannon, my son feels confident rather than overwhelmed, informed rather than lost and hopeful instead of discouraged. Her guidance not only helps parents understand their rights but also navigate parents and children along any process.
I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough. Her dedication, integrity, and expertise make them an invaluable ally to any family navigating the SEN system. Anyone fortunate enough to work with them will find a passionate, knowledgeable, and steadfast advocate who always puts the child’s needs first.
Shannon is truly outstanding in every way.”
C Smith
“I honestly don’t know how I would have managed this process without Shannon and the All Things SEN team. From the very beginning they have been incredible. They handled the SAR request, helped with our EHCNA request, and guided me every step of the way through mediation.
Shannon didn’t just give advice, she stood beside me. She took time to really understand my son, to read through every report and piece of evidence, and to make sure our voice was heard. She explained everything in a way that made sense, calmed me when I was overwhelmed, and made me feel confident and capable in meetings I’d been dreading.
Because of Shannon’s support, the Local Authority’s refusal to assess was overturned and my son will now get the assessment and support he needs. I’ll never forget how much difference she made to us.
If you’re starting this journey and don’t know where to turn, please reach out to her. Shannon is kind, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the families she supports. All Things SEN gave us hope when we really needed it, and I’ll be forever grateful.”

“Well nothing could have prepared me when I woke today thinking it was going to be like any other day… but one phone call ended up turning it into one of the most incredible and what will be possibly one of the most important days in our little man’s life! A day and a phone call I will never ever forget! This has been one hell of a journey and fight… one I was not mentally prepared for but with the support, guidance and perseverance of the amazing Shannon Hill and her team at All things SEN, the LA have today agreed to Archie getting the education he needs and deserves and in the new year he will be moving to the most amazing school that will be able to fully support and meet Archie’s needs and allow him to totally just be ‘our Archie’! Honestly I cannot thank this queen and her team enough for everything they have and continue to do for us, and I will forever be grateful!”
