Autism (ASC)
ADHD
SEMH needs
Dyslexia, dyscalculia or other specific learning difficulties
Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
Moderate or Severe Learning Difficulties (MLD/SLD)

Trauma or attachment needsTuition may be required at primary, secondary or post‑16 level. Sessions may take place in the student's home (with a parent/carer present), a local library or an education setting.
