Neurodivergent Assessments
Special Educational Needs (SEN) assessments are tools and processes used to identify neurodivergent conditions. These assessments aim to understand an individual's unique strengths and challenges in learning, behavior, and sensory processing. TTG offer these tests as a service to help you get the help you need, by a team who understand and live with Neurodivergences.
These assessments are recognised by Access To Work and Student England and will help you progress with them and give you the right to their support. For ages 7-16, these assessments are not recognised by schools, but it's still a great idea to get them done, so when you're old enough to go on the waiting list, you'll have the assessments to hand already. It could take up to 5 years of waiting on the lists, so we will help you diagnose and help your children until they can be elsewhere.
Please submit this form if you or your child are interested and one of the team will come back to you.
