The service provides specialist interventions to inspire children and young people with SEND to transform their lives and achieve the best outcomes. Specialist interventions, assessment, teaching and advice are provided specifically for children and young people with hearing impairment, visual impairment, autistic spectrum disorder and dyslexia as well as advice for young children with significant developmental delay.
The team works co productively with children, young people and their families from the identification of needs (sometimes shortly after birth) throughout their educational journey.
A wide range of bespoke training and workforce development is available for professional colleagues and parents and is tailored to meet an individual's or organisation's specific requirements. We are committed to building capacity within our schools to meet the educational needs of all Hammersmith & Fulham learners to enable them to be independent in adulthood.
Teachers work in collaboration with other professionals, especially those from health and social services. In addition, teachers represent the LA at annual reviews and monitor provision for pupils placed out-of-area. The team also gives advice and support on specialist access equipment and resources.
