SEND can feel like a maze. Let’s find your next step together.
Clear advice, compassionate support and advocacy guided by evidence. From an assessment request to an EHCP review or appeal, choose the help that fits your family.
EHCPs, assessment requests, meetings and appeals. Support for families across England.
You know your child. Your concerns matter.
You might know exactly what support you need, or simply feel stuck and unsure where to turn. Explore the options below to see how I can help you and your family.
“My child’s EHCP does not sound like them.”
We can compare the plan with the reports and identify what needs to change.
“The support in the plan is not happening.”
We can look at the provision in the plan, what your child receives and how to raise the gap.
“School just is not working for my child.”
We can consider your child’s needs, what has been tried and what to ask for next.
“I disagree with the decision about my child.”
We can consider the decision, evidence and stage of the process, then agree the help you need.
A little help or a lot. You choose.

Hello, I’m Louise.
I’m a former teacher and SENDCo. I bring knowledge of education, careful attention to evidence and a human approach to conversations that can feel overwhelming.
