The benefits of having a SEMH assessment come from identifying and addressing SEMH needs a child or young person has. Benefits include:
Identifying SEMH needs early can reduce the impact of needs through early intervention and putting specialist strategies in place.
A SEMH assessment can be carried out following an initial discussion, please see our process below.
At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
SEMH assessments can be carried out through observations, conversations, questionnaires, activities and puzzles. On some occasions a SEMH assessment may take place through play depending on the age and language level of the child or young person.
The specific assessment used will be chosen based on the individual and their situation. Common SEMH assessments we use are:
There are many ways and assessments which help to identify social, emotional and mental health needs and these will be discussed during the initial discussion.
Following a SEMH assessment, needs will be identified and recommendations can be put in place at home and in the education setting. It may be suggested that a targeted intervention or the use of support strategies will help individuals to become happy, safe and ready for life’s challenges through maximising their potential. We provide follow up services, including a feedback meeting, to help children, young people, parents, carers and education staff to understand any findings.
Reports are available following a SEMH assessment. We provide a variety of reports of differing lengths to help us to provide a truly cost effective service. Reports can include a summary or detailed information about any findings and recommendations. Learn more about our reports.
A SEMH assessment identifies underlying needs which may be causing challenging behaviour or low mood. When needs are identified they can be addressed.
Arrange an initial discussion to find out how we can benefit your education setting. The initial discussion lasts 2 hours and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £260.
