Tayntons offer specialist help and guidance to parents who have children with special educational needs. Whatever the age of the child, they will help you identify the particular nature and level of extra educational support he or she may be entitled to. This includes students who are in further education. They will then guide you through the stages, whether at nursery or school level, of requesting a statutory assessment from your local authority and the subsequent statementing process. Tayntons can also help if you have had an assessment request refused or you are not satisfied with the outcome of one. They can guide you through the formal appeals and tribunal process.
