Looking for SEND support around Sevenoaks? Start by identifying the support needed: communication, daily activities, emotional wellbeing, learning or a diagnostic assessment. These listings are possible enquiry points; some services are based elsewhere or work remotely, so check the actual appointment location.

NHS therapy routes depend on GP area, age and the difficulty involved; a provider’s town does not determine NHS eligibility. For school-age speech and language concerns, speak to the SENCo about the NHS link therapist. For preschool children, check Talking Walk-ins and the current criteria. Read the NHS therapy referral guidance.

For education and EHC plan questions in the Kent County Council area, Information, Advice and Support Kent (IASK) provides free impartial SEND advice on 03000 41 3000. You can also use our help while waiting guide and Kent EHC needs assessment guide.

Before paying, confirm the named professional’s registration and scope, child age criteria, travel or online arrangements, total costs and availability. Ask your school or healthcare team what evidence is needed before buying a report. The directory does not guarantee a diagnosis, school place, benefit award or faster appointment.
