Aroa in maori means..
‘To be understood’, and at Aroa, we ensure we have a thorough understanding of the child and what they need to enjoy and thrive in their educational journey.
Learning Assessments
If a child is beginning to demonstrate some difficulties in their development, one of our EP’s can work with you to provide advice and support.
Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP)
If you are in the process of applying for an EHCP, or your child already has an EHCP but needs further EP input, Aroa EP’s are highly experienced completing a range of psychological assessments and a comprehensive report to exceptional standard.

All practicing Aroa EPs are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) which means Aroa are required to conform to certain “professional standards”. Part of these Standards are to:
establish the needs of the child or young person, the provision required to meet those needs and the outcomes intended to be achieved.
At Aroa, we guarantee that the resulting report
- Is sufficiently detailed
- identifies all the young person’s needs
- specifies and quantifies provision required to meet those needs
- provides outcomes to be achieved
