Great Expectations!

Here’s an illustration just completed for our friends at the National Autistic Society – the UK’s leading charity for people with autism.

Great Expectations is their campaign for the improvement of the SEN (Special Educational Needs) system for kids with autism – giving a voice to parents and children who have suffered a lack of appropriate educational provision for too long. The coalition government have promised reforms, and with this fantastic campaign, NAS is working to ensure that the people that really count have their say in those changes.

Scriberia is very proud to have been able to help!
