We would like you to know how much we appreciated your help. We know that it will have a huge impact on my son’s school life and indeed his whole future, we were very fortunate indeed to meet you.

Parent

You saw my son for our tribunal appeal. After just over a year at the school his speech has come on amazingly; now we are having conversations with him. He is speaking all the time and tries new words everyday. It’s been a fantastic year. We are so glad you recognised the potential in him. Many thanks.

Parent

Thank you for identifying my child’s needs, this was the best advice we have ever been given. We now understand our child so much better.

Parent

A big thank you for all the guidance throughout the years in supporting this young man as his teaching assistant. It has been a great learning experience and I have acquired many new skills and strategies that have made my job a pleasure. I’ll miss that monthly visit, but I’m sure his new teaching assistant will find that just as rewarding as I have. We cannot thank you enough for the vital part you have played in helping him, and us.

School

As a parent I never lost belief in my child and what he could achieve, but I spent many years frustrated by the entrenched, stereotypical misunderstanding of him and the lack of constructive support available. My son was written off by many. His application to pursue a career he had dreamed of was achieved by your assessment recognising his individuality, personal qualities and talents.

Parent

Dr Catherine Aldred and her team at the Roundway Centre were the inspired catalyst which insightfully challenged and overcame the barriers to open opportunities to my sons' pathway in life. The professional expertise at Roundway Centre and insight has cleared the way to a bright future for my son who, thanks to their help, has now overturned the initial refusal of his application and he is now pursuing his lifelong dreamed of career.

Parent

The report you’ve sent is just marvelous, thank you! I’m so pleased, it really pulls everything together, it’s brilliant. Thank you so much from us all. It’s wonderful, the help you’ve given us in the report, it's fantastic and the books you’ve suggested for reading, brilliant! It’s very good to finally have something more concrete.

Parent

PACT and Denise have been instrumental in changing our son’s life for the better. In only a few months our son’s communication and understanding has improved enormously. I’m so grateful to the Roundway Team for their support and assistance.

Parent

Thank you so much for your help with our daughter. We have spent many years not receiving any support or understanding of our daughter's needs until we met Dr Aldred. It's a great relief for us all to have help, advice, support and to be heard when needed and to finally have a diagnosis. Thank you, from all of us.

The Roundway Centre has been a fantastic support for our whole family and school to understand and manage our son so much better. After our son's diagnosis by Catherine Aldred, we worked with excellent therapists through the Roundway Centre, Jaqueline Gaile (speech and language therapist) and Denise Anthony (educational consultant specialist) who worked with us and our sons school. The progress of our son has already been phenomenal in a short space of time. We would 100 percent recommend the Roundway Centre for those parents seeking excellent extra support for their children who have extra needs.

You have supported us tremendously over the past 3 years through initial assessment, PACT therapy, annual re-assessments and most recently through EHCP tribunal. You have helped us understand our daughter better. We now have a watertight EHCP which specifies PACT provision for our daughter and her school. Dr Aldred and our PACT therapist Louisa have always been empathetic, supportive and sensitive to our daughter and us as parents.

Parent

The service received at Roundway Centre is courteous, efficient and highly professional. Reports are detailed and individually tailored to enable you to access the correct ongoing support and put in place necessary reasonable adjustments. Catherine is a really good listener who makes you feel at ease with the whole process of diagnostic assessments, which may otherwise feel overwhelming not only to your child but to you as a parent. You feel heard as a parent with regards to your childs strengths and challenges without judgement, and you are met with kindess and understanding.

Parent

Big thank you to Catherine and Alex, both provided an excellent service which enabled us to get a diagnosis for our boy. The services they provided was excellent throughout the process from start to finish and answered any queries I had afterwards too.

Parent

Dr Aldred was very helpful, available, knowledgeable and informative both about our daughter's condition and the EHCP process. We found her help invaluable and are very grateful.

Parent

Thank you to all the team at the Roundway Centre. You helped us all immensely with our 8 year old son who has autism and speech a speech and language disorder. With your help and support we have been granted an EHCP for our son so he can now have the help he needs in school. You have also helped us as parents and as a family understand him better and access his world. This has been ongoing support through SALT and emotional literacy sessions. We can not thank you enough.

We recently visited Dr Aldred with our 9 year old after having difficulties at school. From the first meeting we felt so relieved, we have a better understanding of him. After trying a few of the tips given the impact on our family has been huge. We feel so much more positive about the future and know with a few strategies he will flourish. So grateful we found Dr Aldred and the Roundway Centre.

Parent

We would like to thank Dr Catherine Aldred for her patience, support and expertise. She was calm and reassuring through an incredibly difficult and challenging time for us. Her diagnosis and report meant we were able to secure the right setting for our daughter, which will be nothing short of life changing for her. As parents, we are also developing our understanding through our PACT sessions with Denise Anthony. Her gentle approach and guidance is giving us the confidence to support and nurture our daughter in the way that she needs. After five long years of feeling lost, we are finally connecting with our daughter and are so very hopeful now for her future.

Parent

We cannot thank you all enough for the support you have given us in helping to better understand our son and identifying his needs. The report you sent us was outstanding and really helped us to understand our son better and the ways in which we can work towards him achieving his full potential. Your help and ongoing support to us as a family has been invaluable and very much appreciated, and we are confident that with the right support now in place, our son will flourish at school and beyond. ou guys have/are a real pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend you all enough! 🙌

Parent

I am crying writing this, thank you so much for the report. It is an absolute true representation of him, a representation I have been trying for years to get people to understand. I cannot thank you enough. It is so challenging with ADHD as I struggle massively with executive function and I myself get so overwhelmed. I can see this in him and always have so I understand his frustrations more. Again I am indebted to you. I just want him to have the best start; he tries so hard he is my absolute hero xx

Parent

The support of the Roundway Centre has been a turning point for my daughter. Her grades have improved from ‘D’ to ‘B’ or ‘A’, and our home life is happier as we understand each other better. Thank you! Especially to Denise, I found her so clear and helpful during the diagnosis part.
