Special Educational Needs in FE
From dyslexia to social impairment, one in five learners has a special educational need or disability. With our interventions, assessments and support, you can help every one of your FE students to reach their full potential.
With these tools you can profile your students’ strengths and weaknesses, assess their needs and support them to improve and monitor their progress. Every part of the process is about helping learners with special needs to feel good about their future.

Access arrangements
If you want to change the conditions under which a student with special needs will be sitting their exams, you’ll have to provide evidence of the specific difficulties that they have. Clinical assessments like DASH 17+ and DAST will help you do this.
Special requirements
Access arrangements are just one type of special exam requirements that your school or college can apply for on a student’s behalf – to give them the chance to perform at their best.
