SEND Support
Nisai are section 41 approved. We have supported learners with various SEND barriers including: Asperger's Syndrome, Autism, Dyslexia, Global Delay and Moderate Learning Difficulties. With many SEND learners being in possession of an EHCP, we can support them to achieve their educational ambitions.
Learners with SEND who have joined Nisai in Key Stages 3 and 4 have gone on to achieve their chosen pathway, whether that be College, University, or the workplace.
We meet the needs of many challenges experienced by SEND learners such as avoiding eye contact and providing a familiar routine through timetabled lessons. We provide our learners with small, secure virtual classes (no more than 15 students). Subsequently, they can focus on their education without having the distraction of 25 plus other students.
Our students are based across the country including and their lessons are being accessed anywhere with an internet connection using a laptop, tablet, or PC. Our teachers are based from our office in Stockton-On-Tees.
