EdiWay Child Assessment Enhancing Early Identification and Support for SEN/SEND

The EdiWay Child Development Assessment is a comprehensive tool designed to support UK nurseries, primary, secondary schools, and colleges in identifying Special Educational Needs (SEN), Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and Special Educational Needs and Learning Difficulties (SEN-L) in children. With the increasing prevalence of SEN/SEND and the often lengthy diagnostic processes, EdiWay aims to provide a timely, accurate, and effective means of assessing a child's unique learning needs and cognitive development.

Early Identification

EdiWay enables schools to identify potential SEN/SEND or SEN-L concerns proactively, even before formal referrals to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) are initiated. By doing so, schools can implement early support strategies, helping reduce delays in both diagnosis and intervention.

Individualised Education Program (IEP)

The assessment offers detailed insights into a child’s strengths and challenges, which can inform the creation of tailored IEPs. This ensures that children receive personalised, targeted support from the outset, optimising their educational experience.

Extended School Year (ESY) Services

For students at risk of significant regression during extended school breaks, EdiWay helps identify the need for ESY services. This ensures that children continue to receive the necessary support throughout the year, preventing setbacks and ensuring steady progress.

A Comprehensive Approach

EdiWay assesses a broad range of factors that influence a child's learning and development:

Learning Styles

It identifies a child’s preferred learning style (visual, auditory, or kinesthetic), ensuring that teaching methods are appropriately adapted.

Cognitive Development

The assessment evaluates cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, critical thinking, attention, memory, language, spatial reasoning, and mathematical reasoning.

SEN-L Identification

Specific areas of SEN-L, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism, ADHD, or speech and language impairments, are identified through EdiWay.

Addressing Underlying Issues

The assessment helps pinpoint underlying difficulties that may be contributing to a child's challenges, enabling schools to implement targeted interventions to overcome these obstacles.

Early Intervention and Support

Identifying Needs Early

EdiWay provides an early indication of potential SEN/SEND, allowing schools to proactively support children’s learning and development, reducing the risk of longer-term academic struggles.

Tailored Support

Results from EdiWay assessments inform the creation of individualised education plans (IEPs) and other support frameworks, ensuring that each child receives the most appropriate, tailored support for their unique needs.

Improved Outcomes

Early identification and intervention can significantly improve educational outcomes for children with SEN/SEND, enhancing their academic performance, social-emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Early Identification

EdiWay helps identify children at risk of SEN/SEND or SEN-L at an early stage, allowing for timely interventions that can significantly improve long-term educational outcomes.

Individualised Assessment

Through parent questionnaires, teacher observations, and standardised assessments, EdiWay evaluates each child’s specific needs and learning profile. Early identification allows for quicker referrals to Psicon for further evaluation and specialised support.

Learning Style Analysis

The tool identifies the child’s preferred learning style, ensuring that teaching methods are adapted accordingly.

Cognitive Ability Assessment

The assessment evaluates core cognitive skills, including problem-solving, attention, memory, and language comprehension.

SEN-L Identification

It helps detect conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism, ADHD, or speech and language impairments.

IEPs (Individualised Education Plans)

EdiWay offers valuable data to support the development of individualised education plans, ensuring children receive tailored support to meet their needs.

Improved Educational Outcomes

By addressing SEN/SEND early, EdiWay enhances academic performance and overall well-being.

Reduced Burden on Schools

EdiWay streamlines the identification and assessment process, allowing schools to focus more resources on supporting students.

Collaboration with External Agencies

Schools can collaborate with external bodies such as CAMHS and EHC Plans, enhancing overall support.

Early Identification and Assessment

Early Intervention

EdiWay Child Assessment

This tool is designed to quickly identify SEN/SEND needs in nurseries, primary, secondary schools, and colleges. Through observations, questionnaires, and standardised tests, it helps flag learning difficulties early, ensuring timely support before formal referrals to agencies like CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services).

SEN-L Identification

The system detects common learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism, and speech and language impairments, which helps inform the development of personalised learning plans.

Integration with IEPs and Extended School Year (ESY) Services

ESY
IEP

Individualised Education Program (IEP)

Based on the assessment results, tailored IEPs are created to address each child's unique strengths and challenges. This ensures that children receive personalised, focused interventions to enhance their educational experience.

Extended School Year (ESY)

EdiWay supports schools in identifying children who may regress academically during school breaks. By identifying the need for ESY services, children receive year-round support, ensuring consistent progress.

Comprehensive Learning and Development Analysis

Learning Styles
Cognitive Abilities

Learning Style Identification

EdiWay assesses whether a child learns best through visual, auditory, or kinesthetic methods, helping teachers adapt their instruction to the student's preferred learning style.

Cognitive Development

It evaluates critical cognitive abilities like problem-solving, memory, attention, and spatial reasoning. This data helps pinpoint areas where a child may need extra support.

Addressing Underlying Issues

By identifying any underlying difficulties contributing to a child's challenges, schools can implement targeted interventions that address the root causes of learning difficulties.

Collaboration with External Agencies

CHAMS
EHC

Psicon Collaboration

EdiWay can be used alongside Psicon’s diagnostic services, streamlining the process of assessment and referral. This collaboration ensures that schools and external agencies can work together to develop holistic support plans for children with SEN/SEND.

Education, Health, and Care (EHC) Plans

EdiWay provides valuable data for the development of EHC Plans, helping secure the necessary resources, whether it’s specialised teaching, therapeutic services, or assistive technology.

Addressing Common SEN/SEND Indicators

Proactive Approach

Schools are guided on how to remain vigilant for behaviours indicating unmet needs – such as frequent absences, academic delays, aggressive behaviour, or family instability – so they can intervene promptly.
