SEND & NEURODIVERSITY EDUCATION CONSULTANT
Areas of Consultancy
Every family arrives at a different point. Some need clarity around a single concern. Others need a forensic review of everything that has happened and a complete plan for what comes next. Others need an experienced specialist alongside them for the long term. The ways of working below are designed to reflect these different needs.
Consultation
A focused, one-hour consultation for parents who have a specific concern, decision or question and need expert guidance to move forward with confidence.
Who is it for?
Parents with a specific concern about their child’s progress, behaviour or school support
Families approaching an important school decision or transition
Parents who have received a diagnosis or EP report and don’t know what school should reasonably provide
Families who want expert input before committing to further assessment or intervention
What will you gain?
Specialist insight into your specific concern
Practical recommendations and immediate next steps
Greater clarity and confidence in how to move forward
Strategic Review
A forensic, independent review of your child’s educational history — and a precise, prioritised plan for what needs to change. Families often spend years and thousands of pounds on support that doesn’t work. The Strategic Review tells you precisely what will and in what order.
Who is it for?
Families with longstanding, complex or difficult-to-resolve concerns
Children who have received multiple assessments or interventions without meaningful improvement
Learners whose SEND provision feels fragmented, inconsistent or ineffective
Families who have been told their child is fine — but know that they aren’t
What will you gain?
A forensic review of all reports, assessments and school information
Precise understanding of why progress has stalled and what is driving it
A clear, prioritised and actionable educational plan
Guidance on communicating your child’s needs confidently to school
The reassurance of knowing exactly what to do next
Educational Partnership
An ongoing educational partnership for families who want an experienced specialist to remain closely involved as their child’s needs evolve. This is not a series of appointments — it is continuous, responsive oversight from someone who knows your child deeply.
Who is it for?
Families seeking long-term educational partnership rather than one-off consultancy
Neurodivergent children with complex, co-occurring or evolving learning profiles
Parents who want direct access to specialist teaching alongside strategic guidance
Families who value continuity, expert interpretation and responsive planning over time
What will you gain?
Ongoing oversight from a specialist who develops deep knowledge of your child over time
Earlier identification of emerging difficulties before they become entrenched
Continuity across school, home, specialist input and long-term planning
Reduced pressure to coordinate multiple professionals and interpret conflicting advice
Experienced advocacy at every stage of your child’s education
