SEND Support Banbury was set up by an independent social worker who has personal and professional experience of supporting & assessing people who have SEND (special educational needs & disability).
Esme the founder of SEND Support Banbury is licensed to complete independent ParentAssess parenting assessments which is a specialist parenting assessment for parents that live with a learning disability or have additional needs such as mental health, domestic abuse, trauma, exploitation and alcohol or drug use. This type of assessment has been designed to be inclusive and makes it easy for parents to understand unlike a conventional parenting assessment.
Esme is also trained to conduct ADOS-2 (autism assessments) as part of a multi-disciplinary team and she regularly conducts these privately with the support of a speech and language therapist and clinical psychologists.
SEND Support Banbury accepts referrals from local authorities, solicitors, courts, schools and parents.
Esme has extensive experience of assessing and supporting people with SEND and adverse childhood experiences and she has built good, meaningful relationships with people that have made a lasting positive impact. Esme specialises in understanding the support people with SEND need when assessing and conducting assessments which determine if a child stays with their birth family.
