EHCP and SEND

Behavioural reports for EHCP and SEND

A specific, well-evidenced behavioural report can help an EHCP describe your child’s needs accurately and set out provision that can actually be delivered and reviewed.

Why behavioural evidence matters

Vague reports lead to vague plans

A behaviour analyst’s report describes what a child can and cannot yet do, what the assessment and data show, and exactly what provision is needed: how many hours, delivered by whom, supervised how often, and how progress will be measured. That level of detail can help an EHCP describe needs accurately and set out provision that can be enforced and reviewed.

Families pursuing ABA provision in particular need evidence tied to their own child, not a general summary of research. Pooja’s reports connect your child’s learning profile and behaviour to specific, quantified recommendations.

Pooja can provide

  • Behavioural assessment and a written report for an EHC needs assessment
  • Reports and updated data for annual reviews
  • Specific, quantified recommendations for Sections B, E and F
  • Behavioural evidence for SEND Tribunal appeals
  • School observation and consultation where agreed

What a strong report includes

Specific, evidenced and tied to your child

These are the elements local authorities, schools and tribunals tend to find most useful.

01

How needs were assessed

Observation, interviews, structured assessments and data, and the limits of that evidence.

02

A clear picture of needs

What your child can do now, what is hard, and how behaviour affects learning and participation.

03

Quantified provision

Hours, staffing, supervisor qualifications, supervision frequency and parent training.

04

Measurable outcomes

Outcomes that can actually be reviewed, rather than “make progress in communication”.

Weak Section F wording“Access to behaviour support as appropriate.”
Specific Section F wording“A specified number of hours per week of 1:1 teaching based on Applied Behaviour Analysis, delivered by a trained tutor, supervised by a BCBA or UKBA(cert) Behaviour Analyst who observes at least weekly and reviews the programme at least every four weeks using daily data.”

Scope

Behavioural evidence, not legal advice

Pooja’s role is to assess and explain your child’s behavioural needs and recommend provision, within her professional competence. She is not a solicitor and does not give legal advice or represent families. Her reports give her independent professional opinion of your child’s needs, based on the evidence she gathers. She cannot guarantee what a local authority, school or tribunal will decide, and her recommendations are not shaped to fit a particular outcome. The scope of any report is agreed before work begins. Behavioural evidence is one part of the picture alongside educational psychology, speech and language, occupational therapy and medical evidence.

For advice on the legal process, free independent organisations such as IPSEA, SOS!SEN and your local SENDIASS can help, and a SEND solicitor may be needed for complex appeals.

Preparing an enquiry

It helps to say which stage you are at (request, assessment, draft plan, annual review or appeal), the behavioural question, and any deadlines. Please do not send detailed reports or records in a first email or message. Pooja will arrange a suitable way to share documents once the work is agreed.
