The Accessible Learning Foundation
– or ALF –
campaigns for and provides:
-
better identification and;
-
support for people with neurodivergent conditions.
-
ensuring neurodivergent people can always find their way.
Good News!
ALF has been nominated in the MovementForGood Scheme.
Nominate us too, to help us receive a £1,000 donation.
People with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions should have the same opportunities as everybody else.
But school and work aren’t so straightforward for those who learn differently, and without extra literacy support they can be left behind.
What Are We Doing?
Early identification of neurodivergent children in primary schools
We have started to fund neurodivergent screening in primary schools to enable all children’s strengths and weaknesses to be identified from an early age. With a “whole child” approach at the centre of our mission we have chosen the Do-it Profiler as our screener of choice.
In partnership with parent/teacher questionnaires, it provides an accurate learning profile of the child, identifying all neurodivergent traits, in one 30-minute online screening session. As conditions often co-occur it is vitally important that all traits (as opposed just one) are identified to enable the right support to be put in place.
