Independent educational psychology for parents, carers, schools and multi-academy trusts — helping the adults around a child or young person understand their strengths, needs and next steps.
Every assessment is shaped around the referral question, but most follow a similar path — from the first conversation through to clear written advice.
A first conversation to understand the concerns, the context and the questions you would like the assessment to answer.
Gathering background, developmental history and your view of your child’s strengths, needs and what is already working well.
Talking with teachers and the SENCo about learning, progress and how the child or young person is getting on day to day.
Meeting and observing the child or young person in school, drawing on direct and standardised assessment where it is helpful.
A clear, accessible report setting out strengths, needs and practical, evidence-informed recommendations for home and school.
