My Requirements

My son is 5 and we suspect he is Autistic (diagnosis not yet confirmed). His needs are not high but there are still some things that he can struggle with mainly keeping focus on one activity. His brain is very busy and he takes in all of his surroundings which can distract him.

Whilst I do help him work on lots of things at home and know what helps to get his engagement . From an education perspective I don’t always feel I have the right tools to teach him learning techniques that will help him in the long run and help things like Phonics etc stick better. He doesn’t learn language in the usual way, I believe he is a gestalt language processor and therefore he uses memory a lot more when it comes to reading etc. He isn’t actually reading the words. I’d like him to have some extra 1:1 time with a tutor who can help him to improve / work on his writing, phonics, basic math appropriate to his age and also just general tips and tricks that can help him as he transitions out of Reception and into Year 1.
