Parents of a Child (Learning & Neurodevelopmental Assessment with Home & School Impact)
Background / Situation
The family initially contacted AYC feeling unsure which assessment their son needed. They were experiencing frequent overwhelm at school and meltdowns at home and were seeking clear guidance on the most appropriate route forward.
The Issues They Were Experiencing
Their son was struggling with emotional regulation, learning demands, and overwhelm in school. The family needed clarity on his needs and effective strategies to support him across both home and education settings.
They had previously experienced long delays with alternative providers and were seeking a more responsive, child-centred service.
Our Approach / Solution
AYC carefully guided the family towards the most suitable assessment based on their child’s presentation. The assessment was completed within six weeks, with the full report shared within one week of the assessment.
The clinician captured a highly accurate picture of the child’s strengths and needs and also wrote a personalised letter directly to the child, helping him understand his profile in an age-appropriate and empowering way.
