Fairview EPs use a comprehensive range of assessment tools and tests. We work with students with a variety of developmental difficulties including Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),  Specific Learning Difficulties (like Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia) and various sensory/physical difficulties.

EPs can help to establish:-
- where cognition or learning is delayed,
- where there are concerns about language/communication,
- where there are delayed attainments in literacy/numeracy.

We also work with vulnerable groups and those children and young people whose challenging social, emotional, and mental health issues places them at risk.
