Consultation  

Consultation may range from advice on the needs of an individual child or group through to work with a whole school/organisation. Consultation may lead to further work such as targeted assessment, direct therapy, or staff training, or it may constitute a complete intervention in itself. ​ In terms of service development, I have a special interest in supporting eduction settings to implement system-wide positive behaviour support. 

Assessment and Intervention 

Assessment typically involves drawing information from a range of sources in order to arrive at an understanding of a child’s needs.  

This may include, for example, observation and targeted data collection, review / analysis of existing behaviour data, direct formal assessment (e.g. cognition / attainment), indirect assessment (e.g. parent / staff interviews), review of previous professional assessments, and taking clinical case histories.  

Assessments and interventions may include (but are not limited to):  ​ 

• Functional assessment of behaviour  

• Assessment of adaptive functioning 

• Assessment of emotional wellbeing / specific emotional difficulties  

• Guidance in formulating individual care plans  

• Support in applying new models of practice

Training and Development 

I have experience delivering training and professional development sessions focused on children’s cognitive, social and emotional development, and psychological wellbeing. Professional development programmes can be designed at a bespoke level according to need.
