Services for Parents

---

Discussing, identifying and moving forwards with concerns that you have about your child can be a very stressful, worrying and extremely slow process. 

My successful and established parent support services listed below are designed to make this process much clearer and quicker for you and your child. Many testimonials to the quality of my work can be found on this website and on my Facebook page.

My aim is to keep special educational needs support as affordable as possible.

FREE SERVICES - My advice to parents is free of charge - this is unlimited.

This could cover school related issues, transition to a new school, behaviour at home or school, specialist school advice and advice around EHCPs and the appeals process.

CHARGED SERVICES 

Pupil Observations - Many parents contact me wishing to know how their child presents and engages at school. Others are very concerned that their child 'masks' at school and that school staff do not see the behaviours that occur at home. Or perhaps there are worries that a support plan or Section F of an EHCP is not being applied and followed. 

For these reasons I offer an observation service, for both home and school, followed up by a full report. Please contact me for further details. The cost of this service is largely determined by journey time and costs.

Online dyslexia and dyscalculia screening service - Only £55 per screening with a full report covering the results profile and recommendations for school - please see the 'Online Screening' page for full details.

Special Educational Needs – Fixed Price Pupil Assessment Package 

In response to requests from many parents, I am now offering a comprehensive assessment package at a fixed price. 

The package includes:

1. A dyslexia screening 

2. A dyslcalculia screening

3. A visual cognitive assessment

4. An assessment of expressive vocabulary

5. A memory assessment

6. An emotional literacy assessment - this covers social skills, self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and motivation

7. A telephone or videolink consultation with you 

8. A full report covering the results and recommendations for school, within 14 working days of the assessments being completed.

This package can now be conducted completely online in the current climate that we live in. Recommendations that I have written have been included within EHCPs by some local authorities.

The price for all of the above is just £295.

Emotional Literacy assessment package - £140 - This features an 'emotional literacy' assessment for children aged from 7 to 16. 

Emotional Literacy refers to our self-awareness, recognition of our own feelings and knowing how to manage them, such as the ability to stay calm when angered or to reassure oneself when in doubt. The assessment also covers social skills, empathy and motivation, and includes a full report covering the results profile and recommendations for school. The process also includes a consultation with you on the telephone or via a videolink/ Zoom, whichever you prefer.

Education and Health Care Plans can cause parents a lot of anxiety and concerns. My successful parent support services can help move forward the EHCP process for your child. These services include:

EHCP assessment request writing - £260 - This includes discussions with you by telephone or via videolink, reading all of the relevant paperwork and reports that relate to your child, and writing and then editing the application letter or document. This is a fixed price, so whether this writing process takes me one, two or three days, the price remains the same.

EHCP Draft review service - £150 - This includes reading through all of the documents that were part of the statutory EHCP assessment, reading through the draft EHCP, and then providing you with a list of all of my recommendations for Sections B, E and F.

EHCP annual review - £280 - This would include consulting with you on the phone or via videolink, reading through all of the relevant reports and documents, reading through the current EHCP, and then providing you with a list of all of my recommendations for Sections B, E and F. The price also includes support at the review meeting itself. If the meeting is in person, travel costs may apply.

Tribunal application writing service - £240 per day - This includes discussions with you on the telephone or via videolink, reading the relevant paperwork and reports relating to your child, and writing the tribunal application document. This is typically two days of work; however, if I have already written your EHCP application it would normally be just one day.
