Fantastic news and so many will benefit hugely.

🚨 Big News for SEND Support! The government has launched a £1.7 million pilot to help thousands of children with SEND thrive in mainstream schools using assistive technology! 🙌

🧩 Up to 4,000 schools
💻 Lending libraries in 32 local authorities
🗣️ Tools like reading pens, talk-to-text, and AAC devices
✅ Supporting children with dyslexia, autism, ADHD & more

Schools can try before they buy, helping them find the right tech with confidence and reduce costs.

Children like Archie are already seeing amazing results – from struggling with homework to enjoying learning and expressing themselves with ease. ❤️

This is a major step toward a more inclusive education system where every child has the tools to succeed. 📚✨

Did you know?

Compared to 51.9% of their peers. 😔

The system is failing dyslexic learners.

We’re calling for urgent reform.

Shared feelings!

Today we've launched a new report - Mind the Gap: GCSE results and the dyslexia divide.

In 2023/24, just 21.6% of students with dyslexia passed both English & Maths GCSEs at grade 5 or above – compared to 51.9% of their peers.

This gap hasn’t changed in over a decade. It’s time for action.
