Edvocation® Services SEND Screening assessments do not provide a diagnosis but can identify areas of educational concern or indicators of specific neurodevelopmental, behavioural, or emotional conditions that would warrant further investigation by a trained specialist; usually a registered health care professional such as a child psychologist; a psychiatrist; a speech and language therapist; an occupational therapist.

Our SAS examines the four broad areas of need as part of assess, plan, do, review (SEND Code of Practice, 2015). Screening of educative ability, executive function, social and interactional abilities and sensory behaviours guides comprehensive recommendations for provision.

An assessment bundle is issued on completion and comprises: assessment details; concluding remarks on the nature and extent of educative needs, educational and clinical considerations; provision, strategies, outcomes, steps to achieving outcomes.

This assessment, requires you to complete assessment questionnaires.  On return of completed questionnaires parent/s will be invited to a 30 minute virtual or telephone consultation appointment. This detailed consultation appointment provides the opportunity to discuss your concerns, experiences, familial, developmental and educational information. A school visit provides the opportunity for professional discussion, observations and direct work with the child/young person.
