Edvocation Services work on a strategic partnership basis  to:

• Significantly reduce dis-engagement and exclusions from education
• Improve the emotional and mental health and relationships of young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities [SEND]
• Develop cultures of inclusion in education as expected within inspection frameworks and legislation
• Identify unmet, misunderstood, or unrecognised needs communicated through a young person’s behaviour
• Promote learning engagement, progress and achievement through reflective practice and informed approaches
• Deliver therapeutic interventions to match the individual profiles of a young person

Edvocation Services work closely with Local Authority Professionals in Education, Health and Social care Services, Private clinical practice, Community-based Specialist Services;  Mainstream, Specialist, and Independent schools and Academy Trusts; Parent/Carer/s, children, and young people.

Edvocation Services works throughout the diagnostic assessment journey – for example in Dyslexia, Autism; ADHD; Mood related disorders such as Anxiety, Depression, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Attachment and Trauma difficulties.

As an independent company specialising in SEND conditions and inclusion issues within education, we offer you the benefits of meeting legislative and inspection obligations and duties, and improving the social and academic outcomes of young people through:

1. A variety of different ways of working so that children and young people with SEND can feel more confident and valued in their settings, ultimately enhancing their access to the same opportunities as their mainstream peers to develop their skills, knowledge and relationships that empowers them to achieve their aspirations.
      
2. Working as a collaborative partner within a wider, multi-disciplinary collaborative of therapeutic specialists and diagnosticians around the varied profiles of young people – within private clinical practice, Dr Angela Willis (Specialist Education Consultant) contributes her inclusion expertise and qualifications in Autism to work as a member of the team to undertake observational visits and professional discussions in school settings, as well as ADIR and ADOS 2 assessments with parent/s/carer/s and young  people within the clinical setting.
      
3. Accurate, robust assessments which blend professional expert knowledge with a range of psychometric and clinically indexed assessments.
      
4. Reports cross-referenced to legal tests for statutory assessment in education, and referral criteria requirements from health and social care services. This means they can then be easily used by parent/carer/s and/or professionals in a range of ways, such as for:

• Disabled Students Allowance
• Access Arrangements
• Personal Independence Payments (PIP)
• Evidence for parent/school requests for statutory assessment (Education, Health and Care Plan assessments)
• Referral to health and social care services, such as CAMHS/Bee U
