Reasonable adjustments
Nurseries, schools and colleges must take steps to make sure disabled children and young people are not substantially disadvantaged due to their disability. This is called making ‘reasonable adjustments’.

Learning disability ≠ autism. Why does it matter?

Well, knowing the difference matters because it helps make sure everyone gets the right help, tailored to them. It's important you get the support you deserve. There are many people who will have both a learning disability and autism.

A learning disability is different from autism because autism does not affect general intellect. A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability, usually identified soon after birth or in the early years, and will last a person’s whole life."

People with a learning disability may also be neurodivergent (such as having ADHD or being autistic). Like a learning disability, autism is a lifelong condition. Autism is sometimes referred to as a spectrum, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism is not a learning disability, but people can have both.

🎄Join us for our Christmas Craft Fayre in Lowestoft!

This term, our talented learners at Lowestoft have been working on an enterprise project. The learners have created their own business plans and have implemented them. They have designed and made items, and now they’re ready to share them with you at our Christmas Craft Fayre! They've even created the attached poster to share all of the details.

Pop along, support their enterprise project, and pick up some gifts!🎁

Do something kind for yourself now and again, you matter 😊

Kindness to others. Kindness to self. Small or big, it all matters. 💛
