These last typically about an hour to an hour and a half. The main purpose of this consultation is to discuss your concerns, what you are hoping to achieve through our involvement and ways you think we may be able to help.

Prior to this consultation we will ask you to complete a background form summarising some information about your child’s early years, strengths, difficulties, how they are doing at school, etc. and to forward to us any other reports you may have, from other professionals or school, that you feel may be relevant. This saves us time on the day as we will not need to go through all this information on the spot.

The outcome of this consultation is typically a letter where we summarise our discussion and offer you some options to consider for our further involvement.
