What parents are saying

I'd been fighting the school for months. After one session, I knew exactly what to say at the next meeting. My daughter got her EHCP within 8 weeks.

What is a learning specialist?

A learning specialist is a qualified professional who supports children with additional learning needs — whether that's dyslexia, autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or any other area where a child needs extra help to thrive. The role goes by different names around the world, but the mission is the same: helping every child reach their potential.
