School information and recommendations

Schools can often adjust how a young person is supported, and clear information helps them do it well.

What tends to be useful to a school

Specific, practical descriptions — how instructions are best given, what helps with unstructured time, what makes written work harder — are easier to act on than a diagnosis alone.

What a diagnosis does and does not do
