Gifted assessment, consultation and support

Understanding strengths: enabling people to flourish. 

By understanding strengths, we identify what gets in the way.

 

Evidence-informed gifted assessment, consultancy and training for children, young people, adults, families, schools and organisations.

Our expertise

We bring together psychology, education, research and practical experience to understand strengths, identify barriers to learning and develop approaches that make a meaningful difference.

We have particular expertise in high learning potential, specific learning difficulties and complex or uneven learning profiles.

High learning potential
Understanding advanced and uneven development

Specific learning difficulties
Recognising strengths alongside barriers to learning

Complex learning profiles

Making sense of overlapping or apparently contradictory patterns

Schools and organisations

Develop inclusive practice, strengthen provision, translate evidence into practice and build professional knowledge through consultancy and training.

How can we help?

Sometimes the difficulty is clear. Sometimes there is simply a sense that the current explanation, provision or approach does not quite fit.

We help individuals, families and professionals develop a clearer understanding of strengths, needs and the factors influencing learning, development and wellbeing. We offer gifted assessment, advice, consultancy and training for children, parents, adults, and schools.

Our Services: Gifted Assessment and more

We bridge psychology, education and research to provide evidence-informed services that help people understand strengths, address barriers to learning and make informed decisions.

Assessments

Understand cognitive strengths, learning profiles and areas of relative difficulty through carefully selected psychological and educational assessment.

We look beyond individual scores to consider the pattern across the whole profile and what the findings may mean for learning and support.

Consultancy

Practical, personalised advice for individuals, families, schools, professionals and organisations.

This may include understanding complex learning profiles, considering educational provision, developing support approaches or translating psychological and educational evidence into practice.

Training

Evidence-informed workshops, professional development and bespoke training for schools, organisations and professional groups.

Training can be developed around the needs of a particular setting, team or audience.

Our Approach

Research informed. Practice focused. People centred.

Understand strengths
Identify abilities, interests, resources and areas of potential rather than beginning and ending with difficulties.

See the whole profile
Consider how cognitive, learning, developmental and contextual information fits together, particularly where strengths and difficulties coexist.

Identify barriers
Explore what may be preventing an individual from accessing appropriate learning, demonstrating their capabilities or participating fully.

Turn understanding into action
Use the available evidence to develop practical recommendations, strategies and next steps that are relevant to the individual and their circumstances.
