Support for neurodivergent children in mainstream schools
Around 300,000 children, including those with conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, will be better supported to achieve and thrive as a successful programme to help boost attendance and behaviour is expanded. Backed by £9.5 million in funding, the Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) programme which supports neurodiverse students by training teachers to identify and better meet their needs and improves parental engagement, will be extended for another year across a further 1,200 schools.
