Supporting Students, Parents, Educators and Schools Towards Better Outcomes

At iSEND Consultancy, we are dedicated to empowering students, parents, and educators by providing inclusive, practical, and effective support for a wide range of needs.

We offer a variety of services - from direct student coaching, to parent support, to SEND consultancy for schools, all designed to help individuals and institutions achieve their goals in a way that is sensitive, realistic, and tailored to their unique context.

 

Exam Access Arrangements

Our founder, Ian Edwards, is fully qualified to assess and provide the testing required to meet JCQ guidelines for examination access arrangements. We can work with students and schools face-to-face or online to complete the necessary assessments and documentation in a professional, supportive manner. Learn more about our exam access service. 

iCLASS: Coaching for Students and Parents

We also offer our unique coaching service, known as iClass (Improving Choices, Learning, and Social Skills), as an alternative to traditional tuition.

  • For students, iClass provides tailored sessions to build self-regulation, confidence, social skills, and learning strategies in the areas they find most challenging.

  • For parents, we help establish effective routines, strategies, and targets at home to support your child’s development in a realistic, sustainable way.

You can learn more about iClass here and see how this flexible, personalised coaching approach could support your family.

Resources for home and School

We also offer a growing store of effective, practical resources that can be purchased with unlimited download and printing rights.
Our resources are designed to help students, parents, and teachers implement inclusive strategies with ease — whether at home or in the classroom.
