Education

Although we have experience of assessing and supporting people in all phases and types of education, we tend to be most involved with those who have one or more special need, disability or difficulty. Our focus is always on identifying strengths which can be used to develop each individual's potential. However, we believe it is essential to be aware of all factors, personal and external, which might affect future progress. Knowing where there have been barriers is essential when planning their removal.

Knowing the relevant legislation is essential so we help our clients, directly and indirectly, to obtain an accurate view of their rights and those of their children. We are not lawyers but work very closely with many of the leading legal practices to ensure that our advice and our assessment and reporting are up-to-date and appropriate. Where children and families are finding it difficult to ensure appropriate educational provision, we can provide authoritative assessment and advice on what is needed together with information and guidance on strategies for obtaining provision.

Where difficulties have interrupted or adversely affected progress we can help identify the possible consequences to support a claim.
