Our Services

1

Strengths and Weaknesses Assessment

Assessing strengths and weaknesses provides valuable insight into your child's abilities. It may also help guide the EHCP process, ensuring their needs are accurately represented.

 

We use gold-standard assessments

(WISC-V & WIAT III)

to help build a complete picture of your child.

These assessments are designed to identify strengths and weaknesses across various domains, such as working memory, processing speed, receptive and expressive language as well as identifying reading and maths levels. 

​

A full comprehensive 

report with recommendations will

be provided.

Neurodiversity Assessment

​​​

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder - Diagnosis​

 

Further assessments can help establish a propensity for:​

​

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder 

​​​

  • Specific Learning Disorders

    • Reading

    • Writing

    • Maths

 

Please note that no diagnosis will be given for ADHD or SLD—only an indication of propensity to support your understanding or EHCP application.

​

A full comprehensive report with recommendations will be provided.

Support with Writing EHCP Applications

The EHCP process requires detailed and structured information to make a compelling case for support.

 

We can help by:​

​A) Supplying a document to support your application, including written examples, SMART outcomes, and recommended provisions to aid your child.

​

​

 

B) Writing clear, evidence-based contributions to the EHCP application for you.​ Ensuring your application aligns with your local authority requirements and highlights your child’s strengths and challenges effectively.
