Sponge newbie

Hello All.

Been having a look through this site tonight as I am currently working as a classroom assistant on a one-to-one basis with a young person awaiting a statement.  I am new to all of this and wanting to take on board as much information as possible.  I want to understand how I can help to make the young person's life an easier place whilst I am with them.  I attended a session recently about communication which was of great benefit.  To those parents/carers of children in mainstream education, would you be kind enough to share how you have found your experience please?
