Why a parent built this, instead of a clinic.

When your child's behaviour is hard to understand, you end up surrounded by questions. Why is this happening? What triggered it? Is it sleep, food, school, sensory overload — or something else entirely? And everyone you ask seems to give a different answer.

You start keeping notes — on your phone, on scraps of paper, in your head. You try a strategy, then another. But it's so hard to tell what's actually working, and the big meetings come around before you've made sense of any of it.

The tools out there were either clinical, corporate, or built for professionals — nothing felt made for us, the families living it every day. So I built something simple: a calm place to log what's happening, spot the patterns, and feel a bit more in control.

SEND Anchor is still early, and it's evolving with feedback from families who use it. If something's missing, confusing, or could be better — please tell me. The more families shape it, the more useful it becomes for all of us.
