Getting to know you and your child through play-based interaction and conversations.
I can carry out a range of assessments, including:
SCQ (Social Communication Questionnaire), CAST (Childhood Autism Spectrum Test), SFQ (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), Professional observation in natural settings. These tools would not inform a diagnosis but could build a case for faster diagnosis and/ or an EHCP.
Using the SCERTS model as the foundation of support:
SCERTS is a holistic, long-term framework that integrates assessment, goal-setting, intervention planning, and progress monitoring.
SCERTS focuses on Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support.
I do not provide ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), but I can discuss the pros and cons with you if it’s part of your research or interest.

Early Bird Plus (EBP) – New Funding & Delivery Options
Parent Support Groups in School
I also offer two flexible options for group based parent training and support delivered in partnership with schools:
EarlyBird or EarlyBird Plus – a well-established, evidence-based course for parents of children with autism aged 4 – 10 years.
Navigating Autism – A bespoke programme, focused on supporting and upskiling families, and aligning strategies between home and school. This programme is designed to be delivered in collaboration with the school’s SENDCO.
Both options aim to build local Autism communities and strengthen the partnership between families and schools, promoting consistency and understanding in supporting autistic children.
Our support is flexible—offered online or in person, as one-off sessions or regular coaching.
We work with you, not just for you—helping you feel confident, calm and informed in your parenting journey.
