Better mainstream education support

More specialist support in mainstream nursery’s, primary and secondary schools, sixth forms and colleges.

With more and more children either receiving or awaiting a diagnosis and unable to cope with demands of mainstream education but not having sufficient specialist school placements there needs to be a greater emphasis to ensure mainstream provision can meet and accommodate the needs of all learners. All staff should have specialist training and as many schools as possible should have sensory spaces to provide emotional regulation for the many children who need it.
