EP 40: ADHD and Autism Private Assessments

SEND Parenting Podcast

Episode 40
Ever feel like you're wandering in a maze trying to understand the UK educational system for your neurodiverse child? Join us in this enlightening episode as Catherine, a fellow parent, and I take a deep dive into our personal journeys, grappling with the complexities of private assessments for children with special educational needs. We bring our experiences to the table, highlighting the process, the rational, cost, value and limitations of a private assessment. If you have been wondering if a private assessment is the right path for you and your child this is the podcast to empower you with information so you can make an informed decision.
We also discuss the more emotionally complicated sides of seeking diagnoses - when and how should we disclose it to our children themselves? Tune in, as are two parents sharing our personal experiences and hard-earned wisdom to lighten the burden for you.
