At High Bickington Academy, we are committed to providing clear guidance and support for parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Rather than offering condition-specific advice, which can sometimes be overwhelming, we have created this signposting page to help you find the most commonly requested resources and referral forms.

Below are links to general guidance and information on topics we are frequently asked about. These resources will direct you to helpful advice, support networks, and referral forms when needed.

Common Referral Areas:

• Literacy Difficulties
  Understanding children and young people with literacy difficulties – Support for schools and settings
  Devon County Council's guidance on supporting children with literacy challenges.

• Autism
  Requesting an Autism Assessment – Children and Family Health Devon
  Information about the process for requesting an autism assessment.

• ADHD
  ADHD Support – RDUH Northern & Eastern Community Paediatric Team
  Guidance and resources from Devon’s Northern & Eastern Community Paediatric Team.

• Speech, Language, and Communication
  Speech and Language Support – Children and Family Health Devon
  Resources and referral forms for speech, language, and communication needs.

• General Health and Referrals
  Children and Family Health Devon
  Access referral forms for a range of health needs via Children and Family Health Devon.

These links provide direct access to the most common areas of concern and referral. By using this page, you can find information and referral pathways without needing to request additional forms or documents from the school.

If you have further questions or require more specific support, please do not hesitate to contact our SEND team for additional advice and guidance.
