Unlocking potential

Working with your school

We translate the assessments and clinical formulations into real-life insights that you, and your school, can truly put into practice.

How it works

  • Already a patient at Paediatric People?‍ ‍

    You can call reception to let us know you’d like to see our Education Specialist, or you can bring it up at your next medical appointment at Paediatric People. We can refer you in-house.

    New to us?

    You might have never been to Paediatric People before but you need help navigating school and education for your child. In this case, to get the ball rolling, please fill out our Enquiry Form. 

    We will then email you a secure Patient Registration Form where you can tell us about your child and your concerns.

    The Paediatric People team will carefully review your information.

  • We will work as a team to recommend a plan for your child.

  • This can be telehealth or face-to-face, and your child does not need to be present (but is always welcome!)

  • We will work with your family, school and any therapists to support your child to flourish, and to make the most of their education experience.


    We want every child to learn, grow and reach their potential, and we want their school years to be enjoyable and fulfilling.

    We will work as a team at Paediatric People, with in-depth discussion with our education-support, nursing, medical and allied health clinicians to ensure your child’s wellbeing is considered from multiple angles.
