Special Educational Needs

Identifying a child's learning needs and the support that helps them learn.

How we turn assessment into support

Children learn in different ways, and some need additional or different support to reach their potential.
The specialist psychologists at Psychology and Psychiatry Experts assess a child’s cognitive abilities, learning profile and any specific learning difficulties or neurodevelopmental conditions, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism or ADHD, to build a clear picture of their needs.
We translate findings into practical, achievable recommendations for schools, families and Local Authorities, with particular expertise in looked-after children.
