Parent review (available to be seen on the Facebook page):

"Dr Davies was able to conduct an assessment of our son and write a report in preparation for annual review of EHCP. The assessment was thorough and professional and the report was valuable evidence for supporting the continuation and revision of the EHCP by our LEA. The assessments provided valuable insights into the efficacy of the educational and mental health help he had been receiving as well as identifying additional support that could be put into action. I would be happy to recommend 1st Class Psychology to other parents navigating the minefield of EHCPs and needing evidence based recommendations."

Parent review (available to be seen on the Facebook page):

"I couldn’t be happier with the advice and expertise Dr Davies was able to offer to my son and his teachers and support staff. She spent a lot of time assessing my son as well as listening carefully to the thoughts and opinions of myself and the staff. As a result, Dr Davies provided and very long, thorough and comprehensive report. The information and advice contained within it will benefit my son moving forward, as well as providing accurate information to help guide mine, and the councils, decision as to where best to educate him moving forward into his post 16 setting. Dr Davies made the whole process run smoothly from start to finish. Should I ever need the services of an Educational Psychologist again in the future, I will not hesitate in returning to her. Thank you Dr Davies."
