RM postcodes
Autism & ADHD Support in Romford & Thurrock
Families on the Essex and east London border work with us online for most stages, with in-person sessions arranged at Colchester or in school when needed.
Living in the RM postcode area
The RM postcode area spans the Essex and east London border. Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster and Rainham are in the London Borough of Havering, while Grays, Tilbury, South Ockendon and Purfleet are served by Thurrock Council. Each has its own SEND Local Offer, describing SEN Support, EHC needs assessments and local services.
Because the two councils work differently, it helps to check the right Local Offer before school meetings or an EHC needs assessment request. Our reports are written so they can be used with either authority.
Most RM families work with us online, from first consultation to feedback, which saves a long drive. Where an in-person stage is helpful, such as an ADOS-2 observation, it takes place at our Colchester appointment venue by arrangement. 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.
