Are you a parent wanting to explore your child's skills and needs further?

You know your child better than anyone else and if you have concerns, it is understandable that you want to explore them further.

Do any of the following resonate with you?

Your concerns could be in any number of areas.

Electively Home Educated (EHE)

Do you home educate your child but you're unsure of your child's current attainment levels? SEND&CO can carry out baseline assessments with your child to provide you with this information and highlight areas of focus for you to work on together.

School Readiness

Do you have concerns about whether or not your little one is ready to start school? SEND&CO can carry out School Readiness Assessments (for children aged 3y to 7y 11m) to measure their understanding of basic concepts that are strongly related to early childhoold cognitive and language development.

School Avoidance

Is your child reluctant to go to school due to anxiety? SEND&CO work closely with a sister company, called SENDSAM, and together we can support children, families and schools to agree a plan of next steps.

Transition Support

Smooth transitions, stronger futures — SEND&CO offers tailored Year 6 to Year 7 support that empowers students with SEND to thrive in their new environment, helping schools create confident, connected learners from day one.

SEND&CO offers compassionate and expert guidance to help parents confidently support their neurodiverse children, particularly those with autism, ADHD, and Developmental Language Disorder. Through tailored assessments, individualised strategies, and practical training, SEND&CO equips families with the tools they need to understand their child’s unique profile and respond effectively. Whether it’s navigating sensory sensitivities, building communication confidence, or managing attention challenges, parents gain insight and empowerment from a team that listens, understands, and works collaboratively to nurture every child’s potential. With a deep commitment to inclusive education, SEND&CO ensures that support at home aligns with best practices in schools—bridging the gap with empathy, expertise, and meaningful impact.

The Assessment Process

SEND&CO will arrange a suitable date/time for the assessment to take place within your child’s school.
SEND&CO will liaise with school staff to ascertain their views.
If requested, SEND&CO will observe your child in school to monitor how they are presenting and managing in class.
SEND&CO will work 1:1 with your child, using iPads to interactively assess your child’s needs in the areas you are concerned about. This will typically take around an hour.
SEND&CO will analyse your child’s performance and scores and produce a report detailing their strengths and weaknesses.
The report will provide a list of recommendations to help your child progress. This report will be emailed to you.

What happens after you have received your report?

The report will include recommendations to help your child move forward. You may wish to share this report with your child's school. Where necessary, the report will signpost you to further sources of support.
