The Gesher Assessment Centre and Gesher School have been set up by the same founding team, which includes parents of children with different educational needs. Our connection means we can listen and respond to the experiences and needs of our parents, caregivers, children and young people. We know about the stress and anxiety around the long wait for assessment and diagnosis, and that timely support makes a huge difference to everyone’s experience.

Having an assessment at the Gesher Assessment Centre does not in any way increase your child’s chance of being offered a place at Gesher School. Similarly, if your child attends Gesher School you will need to follow the same process as others to book a free initial consultation and to start the diagnostic assessment journey with the Gesher Assessment Centre.
