Only 1 in 5 young people with dyslexia leave school with it identified and 97% of excluded students have special educational needs. Early screening and support for neurodivergence, especially in primary schools, could transform these outcomes. With 5.5 million primary pupils in the UK, an estimated 1.1 million neurodivergent students need assistance.
Our 3 key aims and objectives We are funding and campaigning for:
Early identification and support of neurodivergent children in primary schools
• Low or no-cost teacher training to support neurodivergent children.
• Online screening in primary schools for all neurodivergent conditions.
• Changes to government policy to ensure all primary school children are screened for neurodivergence.
We aim to provide
1) Free screening in primary schools, at the point of need.
2) A focus on identifying all neurodivergent conditions through screening. Neurodivergent conditions co-occur and all need to be supported.
3) A focus on teacher training to ensure that those screened and identified are better supported.
For too long young children who are neurodivergent have been failed. Their neurodivergent condition/s have often been missed and their education has suffered.
If we want all children to thrive and fulfil their potential in school and beyond we must provide a screening service that provides answers for the child, the family and the teachers and schools.
With the help of supporters we can role out a free at use neurodivergence screening service to primary schools ensuring that no child is misunderstood or goes unsupported.
