My daughter is 14, but I’m sure answers for kids younger or older can apply.

    Neurodivergent kids can get an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). We’ve found this great with the right state school - break time provisions, 1:1 sessions, mental health help, extra time in exams etc.

    I would say get a report from an educational psychologist (even though they say you don’t need to below) or arm yourself with evidence, most likely, like all benefits in the UK, you may have trouble with the first application, but get help from a charity or professional with wording and apply again, every time helps.

    Happy to have you!

      Thanks. We have a full report from a place that does evaluations with lots of test result information, so hopefully that will work.

      I really appreciate all of these websites people are sharing!
