i have a child with send and mental health issues... really need some advice! Have put some questions below...

have you considered private therapy or assessments?

what should I be looking for and where?

thanks xxx

I would always go with recommendations. If there is a chance you will need to use independent assessments as part of an EHCP appeal, make sure the professionals have experience of SENDIST and writing Tribunal standard reports.

I have used independent assessments as part of EHCP appeals. DC also have therapies from independent professionals, but they are funded via their EHCPs.
