The Assessment process: What is involved?

I shall carry out different exercises and activities with you, your child and your child's teacher or SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator). The assessments will vary according to the information you provide in the initial screening questionnaire. The assessments provide the detailed picture of why your child may be struggling in school and based on this information I shall make recommendations for additional support, exam concessions (access arrangements) and any other intervention approaches which may be of help both at home and at school.
