IG postcodes
Autism & ADHD Support in Ilford & Loughton
IG households are usually assessed online, which keeps appointments flexible around work and school and avoids a cross-county drive at peak times.
Living in the IG postcode area
The IG postcode area crosses the London and Essex border. Ilford and Woodford are in the London Borough of Redbridge, while Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell are part of Epping Forest and fall under Essex County Council. Barking families should check with their own borough. Each council publishes a SEND Local Offer explaining SEN Support, EHC needs assessments and local services.
If you live near a boundary, your council tax bill confirms which authority you are under, and that decides whose processes apply to your child's support.
Families in IG postcodes usually choose online assessment, which keeps travel to a minimum. Any in-person stage, such as an ADOS-2 observation or a face-to-face dyslexia assessment, takes place at our Colchester appointment venue by arrangement. Adults can be assessed online anywhere in the UK, and our reports are written to be useful with schools, employers and either local authority.
Not sure where to start? You can begin with a free online screener, or book a consultation and we will talk through the options for your family, with no obligation.
