We provide individual or joint social communication, cognitive and speech and language therapy assessments, diagnostic reports, and individualised intervention plans. Individual consultations are available through home, school, clinic-based visits, or online consultations through videoconference.

Reports are provided for SEN (Special Educational Needs) and EHCP (Educational Health Care Plans) applications, transition planning to Secondary School, College or University, or adult independent living and employment. We provide detailed information, recommendations of need and strategies to ensure the best support is available. The report details individual strategies, techniques, styles of approach, resources, and provisions that support schools in following the SEN pathway.

School training, support and SEN guidance is  available; many strategies involve little additional resources and can be embedded within quality first teaching. Our professionals provide additional therapy, support, monitoring review and goal setting commissioned through EHCPs or by local education authorities.

Therapy and support is available for children and young people aged 1-25 years, providing early support, guidance to parents and schools, counselling and therapy plans.

An initial consultation is offered to gain background information and history and to meet the child or young person to provide feedback, guidance, and the recommended next steps.

For younger children (aged under 6 years), we recommend a video assessment of child-adult interaction in their familiar environment. We take a developmental history with parents and liaise with or visit the nursery or school. Following the assessment, we meet with parents to provide feedback and discuss the profile and recommendations.

Older children (over 6 years) are seen individually in the Roundway Centre, in school or through videoconference to assess their profile and liaise with teachers in school. This is followed by a feedback meeting with parents and the young person where appropriate. 

A comprehensive diagnostic report (the word summary could make the report sound brief) provides specific recommendations of need. Depending on the stage of the SEN or EHCP applications, the recommendations may include an education plan. Further support, liaison, and advice are available to schools as appropriate.

Individual priorities, perceptions and aspirations are gained to deliver bespoke intervention and work towards self-advocacy. Intervention plans can be discussed, demonstrated and shared with parents and school.

Social engagement, communication, emotional regulation, friendship, social use of language,  peer interaction and restricted, repetitive behaviour are some of the areas we support through individualised work.  

Some young people receive counselling support, adapted to their style and perceptions, to build self-support strategies and emotional resilience, particularly when preparing for life changes and transitions.

Counselling support can also focus on developing personal insight and a sense of identity, understanding their diagnosis, and understanding what it means to them.
