SENDIST Assessment

You may be in dispute with your child's Local Authority (LA) about your child's Educationa Health Care Plan (EHCP). You may be in dispute about the need for your child to have SLT or the frequency and nature of the SLT that the LA have agreed to provide.

For any SENDIST report, formal assessment of the child's speech & language skills is necessary. Equally necessary and important is informal assessment.  This involves observing the child in their school - lessons and playtime -  as well as talking with teaching staff.  Informal assessment helps to identify the impact of their language difficulty on their social and emotional development as well as their ability to learn and show their learning.

I have written SEND Tribunal reports for families but also Local Authorities.  I limit my travelling so that I have written reports for children based in Berkshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire,  Oxfordshire, Surrey and Sussex. 

SENDIST Tribunal Charges

I charge for 12 hours of my time to complete a full report that includes assessment, scoring up, liaison with teaching staff, reading reports and supplying two hard copies of the report along with a pdf copy also. This totals £960.

My travel time is an additional charge, charged at my hourly rate of £80 per hour and the travel time is calculated using AA route planner
