Background

Provide direct funding for neurodiversity diagnostic assessments in state schools. These could improve diagnosis of students and help them to receive the support they require. This should include funding for the involvement of educational psychologists in the assessment process.

Additional details

Establishing Direct Funding: Initiate direct funding for neurodiversity diagnostic assessments in primary, secondary, and sixth-form state schools. This should help every student have access to timely and comprehensive evaluations. Policy Review: Conduct a thorough review of current policies regarding funding for neurodiversity diagnostic assessments at all educational levels. We believe this will help to address existing gaps and shortcomings.
