A few more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again

I think SEN as a subject is vast, so you won't run out of things to research and write about.
I think you could break up the subject into areas/sections that you wish to focus on, and one of the areas could be how SEN was once perceived and how it is now, this could lead to you writing about how the older generation or different cultures/religions are/aren't able to accept or understand about SEN.
This could be looked at as a barrier - whether the older generation/Asian community intend it to or not. If a SEN child is part of an Asian community and they live with their extended family and the older generation do not understand the current thinking of how to care and educate SEN children, does this affect their ability and cooperation in supporting the SEN child and their parents?
I think what ever you feel interested in should be the subject that you decide to study. If you wish to research SEN and the Asian community as long as you don't 'drift off' and remember to relate it to the main subject of SEN and keep to the criteria you've been asked to.
If you have some time, I'd start looking up journals, looking through refernce books etc to see if you can gather enough evidence for you to write of your chosen subject. If you are unable to find enough research matter, then you can decide whether to focus on a broader picture of SEN or change your your topic.
Best of luck.
