Surrey County Council’s Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools has officially launched its second year.

The original pilot scheme which is a collaboration between NHS England, the department for Education and other local partners aim to enhance inclusion for neurodiverse children.

The original pilot phase started out with just 41 schools but this year an additional 29 have been added across the county bringing the total number up to 70.

Up to 30 hours of tailored support is now available per school, including occupational therapy audits, speech and language therapy, and neurodiversity champion training.
