I wrote EHC Plans using the information gathered as part of the assessment and worked collaboratively with wider professional agencies (e.g.) Speech and Language therapists, paediatricians, Specialist teachers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and Educational Psychologists) to ensure the outcomes specified in the plan are identified and are delivered and that an appropriate placement is named.
