There are various traits which are common to several specific learning challenges. If you recognise more than one of these, it may be that your child could benefit significantly from an independent evaluation of their learning style.
Whether a child’s complex needs are not being addressed or they simply need to find a learning environment which values their ‘difference’, the right specialist staff and resources are key to helping them reach their full potential – educationally, socially and emotionally.
There are many excellent examples of independent, non-maintained and maintained schools and colleges in the UK, but searching for the ‘best fit’ for a child or young person with a range of needs is a time-consuming and sometimes daunting task.
For some children, remaining at a local mainstream school, with the right support in place based on the evidence within an EHC plan, can be a good solution.
