IP postcodes
Autism & ADHD Support in Ipswich (IP)
Suffolk border families are often closer to our Colchester appointment venue than to comparable services in their own county, and many choose us for that reason.
Living in the IP postcode area
The IP postcode area covers Ipswich and south Suffolk, including Hadleigh, Felixstowe, Capel St Mary, Shotley and Holbrook. These towns are served by Suffolk County Council, so SEN Support guidance, EHC needs assessments and local services are set out in the Suffolk Local Offer rather than the Essex one.
Our reports are written so they can be used with Suffolk processes as well as Essex ones, which matters when schools and the local authority are considering provision.
For many families in south Suffolk, our Colchester appointment venue is a short drive down the A12, so in-person stages such as an ADOS-2 observation or a face-to-face dyslexia assessment are easy to arrange. Consultations and feedback can be online, and adults can be assessed fully online anywhere in the UK.
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.
