At Choice Education Group we believe that all students have rights and should be treated fairly, that is to get what they need so that their educational journey is equitable.
The overall guiding principle is that Special Needs students have a right to a good education and deserve the same academic opportunities as their peers. Students should be helped to learn effectively and have their wellbeing looked after as well.
Special Needs can appear in a variety of ways physical, intellectual, neurological (ADHD and ASD), learning disorders (Dyslexia), emotional disorders/mental illness (Anxiety and Depression) and chronic health problems (Chronic Fatigue, Diabetes and Cystic Fibrosis.
