How Florikids Supports Your Child and Gets the Physiotherapy Section Right

If you are a parent navigating the EHCP process, you already know one thing for sure:
it is overwhelming.

Forms, meetings, long waits, professional language that feels deliberately confusing, and the constant pressure to prove your child’s needs again and again. For children with physical, developmental or neurological needs, physiotherapy evidence is often essential but frequently poorly understood or badly written.

At Florikids Physiotherapy, I support families by providing clear, thorough and legally robust physiotherapy assessments and reports that genuinely reflect your child’s physical needs and how these needs impact their education and daily functioning.

What Is an EHCP and Why Physiotherapy Matters?

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legal document designed to support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. It sets out:

• your child’s needs
• the support they must receive
• and who is responsible for providing it

Physiotherapy sits within the F and G sections. Section F explains exactly what support your child must receive. Section G describes health services provided that are not educational. Mobility, posture, endurance, balance, coordination and access to the environment directly affect:

• learning
• participation in school activities
• fatigue levels
• confidence and independence

When physiotherapy input is vague or poorly written, support is often reduced or removed. When it is specific, functional and clearly justified, it becomes much harder for provision to be ignored.

How I Support You During the EHCP Process

EHCP physiotherapy support at Florikids is not a quick tick box exercise. It is a structured, parent centred and child focused process.

This service includes 4 steps:

1 hour video consultation
A detailed subjective assessment where we explore your child’s medical history, developmental milestones, current difficulties, school challenges and your concerns as a parent. This is your space to be heard properly.

1 hour face to face physiotherapy assessment
Conducted at my physio studio or alternative location with your child and parent or caregiver present.
This assessment looks at:

• posture and alignment
• movement quality
• functional mobility
• strength, balance and coordination
• fatigue and endurance
• access to education and daily activities
• equipment and appliances

A comprehensive written physiotherapy report
Formatted clearly and written in appropriate professional and legal language for the Local Authority. This report links clinical findings directly to functional impact and educational access.

A video call to review the report together
Before it is submitted, we go through the report line by line so you understand it fully and feel confident using it.

What Makes the Difference

A strong EHCP physiotherapy section must do more than describe a diagnosis. It must explain why support is necessary and what happens if it is not provided.

In my reports, I ensure:

• needs are described clearly and specifically
• functional impact is directly linked to education
• therapy recommendations are measurable and justified
• equipment and environmental needs are documented

I avoid vague phrases such as “access to physiotherapy” or “when required”. Instead, recommendations are specific, structured and purposeful.

Why Parents Choose Florikids for EHCP Physiotherapy Reports

Parents often come to me feeling exhausted and unsure who to trust. What they usually want is simple: someone who understands SEND, someone who explains things clearly, someone who takes their child seriously. I work in partnership with families. I don’t rush assessments, I don’t overpromise and I don’t write generic reports.
