Working with Schools & Colleges
Assessments and Consultations
Ways of working with schools can vary, but the constant theme is working together with each other’s expertise to help deliver the best outcomes for the child/young person being assessed.
Prior communication with the school/college is essential prior to any assessment or consultation to gain the school/college’s perspective on the child/young person. This contributes to both the planning of an assessment or consultation and to the subsequent understanding that emerges from our involvement. Understanding any support that the school/college may already have given and the child/young person’s responses to that is also important.
Ideally an assessment takes place in school/college as this is the child/young person’s key learning environment and will take at least all morning.
A consultation can take place either at school or at home and is shorter at 1 to 2 hours long, focussing most of all on a joint problem solving process with the adults who work and know the student around what has triggered the referral. It may also involve a short 1:1 session with the individual.
Assessments:
For exam arrangements: Working with the school/college is also essential in order to validate and meet JCQ regulations if we are doing an assessment exploring eligibility and providing evidence forthe application for specific exam arrangements.
For EHCP requests and assessment: We can also offer assessments that can contribute to an EHCP Assessment Request or an EHCP Annual Review.
