The Connect Assessment Process
A free 30 minute consultation will firstly be completed to develop an understanding of your child’s needs and whether an assessment would be appropriate.

How our clients feel.
“The sessions were always looked forward to by myself and my son. The recommendations were taken on at home and school which are working well. Scarlett was fantastic, she has a natural personality and has a very good way with children. J has found the sessions fun and has worked well with Scarlett. This has helped us to deal with issues and problems with his behaviour in a more positive way at home and school. Thank you.”
Not “how do they fit?”
But “what do they need?”
We listen to the child or young person, their family and the people who know them best. By understanding their strengths, sensory experiences and everyday environments, we can create support that actually makes sense for them.
Sometimes that means developing skills. Sometimes it means finding a different way. And sometimes it means changing the environment around a child.
