Testimonials
We can’t recommend and thank Cotswold SEND Consultancy enough. Their support not only for our child but to us as parents has been truly fantastic. We felt listened to, helped and understood. The difference in our life has been amazing in less than a year.
Chloe Busk
From helping us secure a diagnosis, to navigating us through the process of an EHCP, Katie has guided and supported us throughout.
It can be an overwhelming and confusing experience for parents of SEN children; but with Katie by our side, I am confident that we have all the resources and answers we require to help make the best decisions for daughter and her future.
No question is too small. Katie will articulate any clinical language or terms we are unsure of so that we fully understand the information we are given.
I highly recommend Katie to anyone who requires a patient and compassionate individual to act as a SEN consultant for their child.
