Global Experience

SEND Advocate

I'm Sandi Klein, an international SEND Educational Consultant from Toronto, Canada, with 13+ years of experience in special education and learning support. I've worked across global curricula (IB, Cambridge, American, Canadian, Australian, and more) to help children with neurodiversity, special needs, EAL, and diverse learning profiles thrive.

As someone who grew up hard of hearing and with a learning disability, my work is both personal and professional. I know firsthand the difference the right support can make, and I'm passionate about ensuring every child has the tools to succeed.

Through Expat SEND Support, I guide families navigating special education and learning support abroad — from assessments and therapy referrals to practical strategies and interventions for home and school.

Why I Started This Business

For over 13 years, I've worked as a special education teacher and consultant, supporting children with diverse needs and helping hundreds of families worldwide. I observed a critical gap for expatriate families, who often struggle with culture shock, language barriers, and limited access to assessments or therapy abroad.

At Expat SEND Support, my mission is to guide families through these challenges by providing comprehensive, culturally sensitive support. My aim is to bridge the gap between families and the services they need. Every family deserves access to high-quality support, no matter where in the world they are.

I look forward to working with you to support your child's educational journey and to help your family thrive in a new cultural and school environment.
