Parents – Support and Advice

SEN Support is the process educational settings use to identify and meet the needs of children and young people with special educational needs.  As an experienced SENCO I can help by:

• Reviewing your child’s current support including looking at 1:1 and small group support, differentiation, frequency and duration of interventions, appropriate teaching and learning strategies, and answering your questions about SEN.
• Working with you and your child’s education provider to ensure a holistic approach to learning and wellbeing.
• Devising a provision map for your child and drafting / reviewing learning plans and targets set.
• Providing Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) guidance and support.
• Attending meetings, mediation and tribunals as an advocate and support.

Meeting Attendance/ Advocacy
At times it can be difficult and overwhelming to find your way through the myriad of referrals required for different services, formal documentation and arrangements or legal duties.  I can act as an advocate by attending meetings with education, health and care professionals, or accompanying you to mediation / tribunals to ensure your child receives the best outcomes.

I have worked with a variety of children whose needs include:
ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, Behavioural difficulties, Depression, Down Syndrome, Dyslexia, Global Developmental Delay, Hearing Impairment, Learning difficulties, Sensory difficulties, and Speech and language difficulties.

Fees
I offer an initial 20-minute phone consultation free of charge where we can discuss all of your needs and prioritise them accordingly. This can be online or face to face depending on preference. I offer both flexible, ad-hoc support and more structured packages, depending on what feels right for your family. For parents or carers who prefer occasional or ongoing guidance, my hourly rate is £105.
