Our experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapists can provide independent, highly detailed Occupational Therapy assessments and reports for SEND Tribunal proceedings, ensuring that the child or young person's needs, functional participation and required Occupational Therapy provision are clearly identified and evidenced.
Where appropriate, assessments can incorporate an Ayres Sensory Integration® approach, alongside functional assessment, clinical observations, standardised assessment tools, school or education observations, review of existing documentation and liaison with the family and professionals involved.
Our reports aim to provide a clear understanding of the child or young person's strengths and needs, the functional impact of their difficulties, the support and intervention required, and measurable recommendations for Occupational Therapy provision. Where relevant, recommendations can support consideration of outcomes and provision within an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Our Occupational Therapists can work with parents, legal representatives and Local Authorities and can provide professional representation at SEND Tribunal hearings where required. Tribunal support can include:
Throughout the process, our focus remains on providing independent, evidence-informed professional opinion, with the needs, voice and everyday participation of the child or young person at the centre of our assessment and recommendations.
