SEND Teach
Our specialist SEND tutoring service is specifically designed to support autistic children and young people through personalised, autism-affirming educational support. We understand that every autistic learner has unique sensory needs, communication preferences, and learning styles, and we adapt our approach accordingly.
Key autism-specific adaptations include:
- Structured, predictable learning sessions with clear visual timetables and expectations
- Sensory-conscious learning environments with adjustable lighting, minimal background noise, and comfortable seating options
- Communication adaptations including visual supports, written instructions, and processing time as needed
- Special interest-led learning where we incorporate each student's specific interests into lesson content
- Regular movement breaks and sensory regulation opportunities
- Flexible session timing and pacing based on individual energy levels and processing needs
Our qualified SEND specialists have extensive experience working with autistic learners and understand the importance of:
- Building routine and predictability into sessions
- Providing clear, concrete instructions
- Using literal language and avoiding idioms
- Supporting executive functioning through structured organisation tools
- Breaking tasks into manageable chunks
- Creating low-demand environments that reduce anxiety
We offer comprehensive support including:
- Academic tutoring aligned with individual learning styles
- EHCP target support and progress tracking
- Development of self-advocacy skills
- Building confidence through strengths-based approaches
- Regular detailed progress reports for families
- Flexible delivery options (online or in-person) to accommodate sensory and accessibility needs
