About the Practice
When the EHCP process starts to feel like a wall of forms, deadlines and official language, Birmingham families need somewhere calm to begin. Birmingham SENDIASS helps Birmingham parents understand the SEN and EHCP process before a meeting, refusal letter or tribunal deadline takes over the whole house. The work is about turning fear and scattered evidence into a clearer plan for school, the local authority and the next decision point.
Clinical Expertise
SENDIASS support, EHCPs and assessments, meetings and tribunals, request help and local SEND information
EHC plan process and annual review support
Information and preparation support around mediation, disagreement resolution and SEND Tribunal processes
Why Work With Us?
Free Birmingham SEND Route: Parents get a clearer route through confusing SEN language, so they can see what needs to happen before the next school, local authority or tribunal step.
Law and Process Clarity: Support focuses on evidence, deadlines, wording and next actions, helping families move from panic to a practical plan.
Calm Support During Conflict: This gives parents a grounded first step before they spend money or walk into a meeting unsure what the local authority is asking for.
