Helping your child, however they learn
We offer assessments for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), to help provide them with arrangements and support so that they can flourish.
Our SEN assessments cover all of the most common specific learning difficulties. This includes disorders which affect motor skills, such as Dyspraxia, or literacy and numeracy skills, such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia or Dysgraphia, along with behavioural conditions like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Arranging extra time in exams - Giving you time to think
The heavy emphasis on time-pressurised exams in the UK education system - from senior school entrance exams through to GCSEs and A Levels - is especially tough for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) such as Dyslexia or Dyspraxia.
Understanding each child as an individual and identifying their academic attainment and areas for development is the key to ensuring their educational success. Using assessment to determine the level of a child relative to their age and stage will help parents recognise how their child compares to the standards against which they are being measured, allowing targeted work and faster progression.
Our assessments, which offer clarity on whether your child has a specific learning difficulty (SpLD), can enable your child to gain extra time in exams, giving them more time to think and get their answers down in a way that properly reflects their ability. The additional time that is awarded to students with learning difficulties is known as Access Arrangements.
Feedback and Reporting
Our expert SEN assessor - Hema Desai - then analyses the results of these tests to produce an overall profile of your performance and determine a potential diagnosis.
A comprehensive written report is then provided, which clearly outlines all of our insights and recommendations.
