About The SEND List
The UK's trusted directory of SEND specialists and support services
We help parents, carers and young people find the right professional support for SEND — without the overwhelm, the wrong turns, or the waiting.
Every listing is here because a child or family needed that specialist — not because of advertising.
All specialists are checked against professional registration bodies including the HCPC and BPS before listing.
The SEND List was created by a parent who experienced firsthand how hard it is to find the right support.
Why The SEND List exists
Navigating the SEND system in the UK is one of the hardest things a parent can face. The information is scattered, the waiting lists are long, and it can feel like you need to already know the right words just to get started.
The SEND List was created to change that. We built a single, searchable, verified directory of SEND professionals across the UK — one that puts parents and carers in the driving seat, and connects them with the right specialist without requiring hours of research or a degree in education law.
Whether you’re looking for an autism assessment, a speech and language therapist, an occupational therapist, or an educational psychologist, you’ll find verified, bookable professionals here — listed by location so you can find someone near you.

Every profile shows the specialist's credentials, services, and contact details. No hidden information.
You reach out to the specialist yourself — no gatekeeping, no referral forms, no delays.
Whether it's an assessment, therapy, or an educational report — you're in control of your next step.
