​
An Individual Education Plan or IEP is a school-based document which records, tracks and reviews the support a child with special educational needs receives in school. An IEP is a detailed plan that sets out targets and strategies to help your child learn and is normally reviewed at the end of each school term.
For those children with more severe or complex learning needs, my report and evidence can be used as up to date backing in order to support an Educational Health & Care Plan to a Local Authority .
All children with an Educational Health & Care Plan must have an IEP/PEP. Following the introduction of the Children and Families Act 2014, children without a Statement are not required to have an IEP, but schools do still use them.

Primary Needs Assessments & 1:1 teaching programmes arranged by families throughout the calendar year.

​
The targets set are dictated purely by the child's assessment results and not by their current syllabus. Teaching cannot take place without the initial Non-Diagnostic Assessment nor a signed 'Letter of Agreement' and payment in order to secure a booking. For this reason, the sole purpose of the Assessment is to create a Teaching Programme and will only be shared if deemed necessary​.
​
After the combined initial assessment and first 6-hour programme, any teaching programmes fee is at the normal rate.
