Who this is for
Families whose child has autism, ADHD, a learning disability, a speech or language delay, Down syndrome, a developmental delay, sensory processing differences, emotional or behavioural needs, or a combination of these.
Typically the child is between two and sixteen, attends or is waiting to attend school, and needs consistent one-to-one educational support that a weekly therapy session and a busy classroom cannot provide alone.

The role
What a special educator does.
Plans and delivers structured learning. Supports homework, reading, numeracy and daily living skills. Follows the strategies set by the child's school, therapists or psychologist. Manages routines, transitions and sensory needs. Keeps a daily record and reports to you and to us.
They do not diagnose, treat, prescribe or deliver therapy. Where a child needs those, we help you find the right clinician and our educator works alongside them.
What's included
Structure the whole household can follow.

Small steps, the same way every day.
Structured learning
Planned sessions built on what your child can already do, one step at a time.
Homework and daily skills
Reading, numeracy, homework and the daily-living skills that make a morning work.
Routines and transitions
Visual schedules, prepared changes and sensory needs handled before they become hard.
A daily record
What happened today, written so the next therapy session starts from real information.

- 06
Supervision
First-week, thirty-day and ninety-day reviews, monthly reports, and a replacement guarantee.

Home
The whole household.
A child's day is usually held by more than two people. A good special educator does not replace them. They write the plan in a way everyone in the home can follow, show the household how the routines work, and keep the record that lets a therapist see what happened between sessions.
Part-time, after-school, holiday and temporary cover are all available. Fees are quoted on the brief.
A special educator is an educator. The moment a child needs a clinician, we say so.
