Parents

Supporting children and young people with learning, communication or behaviour issues

I work with children, young people and adults to help understand their learning and behaviour and think about how their needs can best be met.

  • Are you worried about your child’s progress with reading, spelling or writing?
  • Does your child struggle with maths?
  • Are there concerns about your child’s behaviour?
  • Does your child have recognised special needs, but you are concerned about how these are being met?
  • Would you like help in selecting a school that will suit your child?
  • Do you think your child is very able?

I can:

  • work directly with children or young people to find out about their views and assess their abilities;
  • meet with parents and professionals to discuss how to put helpful strategies in place;
  • write a report to summarise work done;
  • write a report to support a request for special arrangements for exams (access arrangements) or an educational and health care plan (EHCP);
  • hold a one off discussion to talk through concerns;
  • deliver a series of regular sessions with a child or young person to help them overcome barriers to their progress

Requests for involvement cover children and young people with a wide range of profiles including:

  • General learning difficulties
  • Developmental delay
  • Specific learning difficulties; dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Difficulties, DCD), Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD, ADHD)
  • Speech, language and communication difficulties
  • Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC)
  • Social, emotional or behaviour difficulties
  • Physical or sensory difficulties e.g. visual or hearing impairments
  • Genetic conditions e.g. Down’s Syndrome
  • Gifted and talented
