From referral to assessment — we're with you

Your GP or school has submitted a referral for a neurodevelopmental assessment. You receive a letter. It tells you to wait. No timeline. No guidance. No next steps. This is where most families are left alone — and where EarlyLane begins.

Weeks become months. School struggles may intensify. You're trying to get support without a diagnosis. You're questioning whether you're doing enough. EarlyLane gives you something to do — something that genuinely helps — every single day during this period.

You don't need to wait for a diagnosis to request school support. Under the Equality Act 2010, schools have duties regardless of diagnosis. EarlyLane's school toolkit helps you exercise those rights — with template letters, EHCP guidance, and scripts for difficult conversations.

You finally get your date. With EarlyLane, you walk in with months of structured, date-stamped observations. Your journal exports as a verified Assessment Passport that the assessing clinician can use directly. Assessors consistently report that prepared parents lead to better, faster assessments.

The Assessment Passport doesn't end at diagnosis. It follows your child through school, into college, and eventually into employment — a verified, portable record of who they are, how they work best, and what support they need. The work you did during the wait becomes their foundation for life.
