About Insight- Educational Assessments and SEND Consultancy
What we do
We can support you to understand each child and their emotional or learning needs. Fully qualified to Master's level, we are able to investigate emotional needs, formally identify Dyslexia as well as undertake assessments and screeners to investigate other areas of learning e.g., maths, memory, motor control, visual perception, attention/concentration and language. We also assess for Exam Access Arrangements in line with the JCQ guidelines and complete the relevant forms. Whilst we take commissioned work from schools, we are also available to help if you are a home-educating parent/carer and want support to design and monitor a programme for your child(ren).
