Developmental and family context matters
Children may show attention, communication, sensory or emotional differences differently across home, school and social settings. Assessment and therapy should consider development, strengths, family context, education, sleep, anxiety, learning and other possible explanations.
- The child or young person’s own experience
- Parent or carer developmental information
- School or other-setting information where appropriate
- Strengths, interests and protective factors
- Co-occurring emotional, learning or physical needs
- Practical recommendations for home and education

Questions from parents
Before making an enquiry
Does my child need a GP referral?
A GP referral is not usually required for an initial private enquiry. Any need to involve a GP, school or another professional is discussed before booking.
Will the school be contacted?
Only with the appropriate consent. School information can be useful, but the need, purpose and method of obtaining it are discussed first.
Can parents attend therapy sessions?
Yes, where parent-only, joint or family work is clinically useful. The format may change as the young person’s needs and independence develop.
Is online work always suitable?
No. Age, communication, risk, safeguarding, complexity and the purpose of an assessment or report influence whether online work is appropriate.
Unsure which pathway your child needs?
