The Assessment

Our EHCP assessment process is designed to give you clarity and the strongest possible evidence for your child’s needs.

  • A full case history and review of all existing reports so nothing is missed and every recommendation is grounded in a complete understanding of your child.

  • Standardised and non‑standardised assessments tailored to your child’s profile, ensuring we capture strengths, needs, and the nuances that generic assessments often overlook.

  • Functional observation across tasks and contexts, giving a real‑world picture of how your child communicates, learns, and regulates—not just how they perform in a test.

  • Detailed analysis of speech, language, and social communication, written in clear, parent‑friendly language without jargon.

The Report

A tribunal‑ready report that stands up to scrutiny. Our reports are written to the standard required for legal processes and include:

  • A precise, evidence‑based description of needs (Section B)

  • Specific, quantified, and legally enforceable recommendations (Section F)

  • A clear rationale linking assessment findings to every piece of provision

  • Language that centres your child and your family’s voice throughout

Support that goes beyond the report

  • Optional attendance at tribunal or professional meetings (additional fee).
