Alongside AskEllie’s free AI support, we now offer an optional private one-to-one written response service for parents who need tailored help with complex SEND situations. This service was created because we receive an overwhelming volume of messages every week from families who are desperate for clarity, reassurance and practical direction. Every penny raised goes directly into building the AskEllie app — so we can support even more parents across the UK with faster, easier access to accurate SEND guidance.
