Assessments for EHCP Applications and Tribunals
For many families, therapy is not only about day-to-day progress but also about securing the right long-term educational support through an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Why These Assessments Matter
- Robust evidence – tribunals and local authorities require detailed, professional reports to understand a child’s needs.
- Provision mapping – recommendations specify the exact support required (e.g. one-to-one speech and language therapy, 30 minutes twice weekly, delivered by a qualified therapist).
- Placement decisions – a strong report can influence whether a child receives a specialist school placement or additional resources in mainstream education.
What Meera Provides
- Standardised assessments with clear scores and comparisons to age expectations.
- Observations in real-life settings such as home, classroom or therapy sessions.
- Detailed recommendations on frequency, type of support and required expertise.
- Consideration of future needs and how provision should evolve over time.
Independent Expert Reports
Parents can also commission Meera for independent assessments for EHCP applications or tribunal appeals. These reports:
- Are written with a deep understanding of statutory requirements.
- Clearly link need, provision and placement.
- Are comprehensive and legally robust, designed to withstand tribunal scrutiny.
