Creating your Child's Care Plan
This can be ideal for sharing with school, EHCP/DLA and other support services.
Service Description
Creating your own care plan is a great start to understanding what needs your child has and what interventions would be needed to support. A personal, bespoke session to go through all of your child's needs and what helps them at home, also at school. This can then be used in school meetings to highlight what reasonable adaptations need to be made. It can be used as evidence for DLA claims and EHCP cases. Also included will be recommended reasonable adjustments the school should be making. We will complete a 1.5 hour zoom call together (or telephone call if you would prefer) and then I will create a care plan template for you and get you started on a document that will become a very important for you and any professional working with your child. A care plan is a great document to take into meetings with you to keep schools accountable for what support they are putting in place, and form as great evidence for lack of support in place. This care plan is written in the same layout as an EHCP. It is very in depth and will list all needs including: Cognition & Learning; Communication & Interaction; Social, Emotional & Mental Health; Sensory & Physical Needs and Personal Care. It will provide space for schools to be accountable in how they intend to meet need. We also include recommended reasonable adaptations school should be making and all interventions and approaches parents use at home (parental recognition) to gain a recognised understanding of the family as a whole. We consider all needs regardless of diagnosis and behaviour difficulties including masking as standard. This document is great to use in meetings with any professionals and can be used as evidence for professionals also. If you feel your child's needs are not being recognised this is a great start! It is time we stop waiting for mainstream services (tribunals and meetings etc) and take back some control ourselves. The service includes a zoom or telephone call to begin with and then I will work on creating the care plan for you via email. You will receive the care plan via email, ready to use within 3 - 5 working days from our call.
Cancellation Policy
Here at SEND PARENTING BALANCE we completely understand how chaotic life can be and last minute. If you need to reschedule an appointment please provide at least 48 hour notice. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will charged the full session fee. For any reason I need to cancel a session, you will be refunded in full. For online sessions, please join from a confidential, quiet space where we can speak openly and freely. Coaching sessions may involve discussing sensitive topics related to your child in which you may not wish for children to overhear. We appreciate how hard it can be to get childcare for children with neuro diverse needs, perhaps appointments can be coupled with tablet and headphones, alternatively headphones for yourself? Children are welcome, of course, together we can try and work around any adaptations you may require.
