Reviews
Eleanor came to do observations at school for our daughter Rebecca (Year 3) at School to understand Rebecca and her cognitive ability. She has an EHCP and we are pending an annual review and wanted a real insight to where Rebecca is currently. This was extremely insightful!
Eleanor visited our child in her school setting and after sitting in on one of her lessons with her, was able to offer lots of helpful insights and suggestions to us and her teacher about our child's needs. These have since been implemented, both in the classroom and at home, and have helped our child immensely in ways of dealing and managing her psychological and physical needs.
