The digital guide to Special Needs Education (SEN) complements the traditional version of Schools for Special Needs, also published by Gabbitas, by making its schools and colleges available to Internet users.

You can browse Independent Special Needs schools, colleges and non-maintained special schools in the UK according your individual circumstances.

If you are seeking provision for someone with less severe needs and wish them to remain in mainstream education, select independent mainstream schools with special needs provision as a key requirement. Those seeking support for someone with greater needs can focus their search on special schools and specialist post 16 provision.

Parents considering specialist schools and colleges can specify the exact needs combination of their child, which is vital when looking for provision for a child or young adult with complex needs. For example, searches for those with ADD, Heath Problems, and Impaired Mobility are possible.

Schools for Special Needs online enables parents of children with Dyslexia, one of the most commonly occurring Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), to search through all relevant independent education providers. Results can also be filtered, to contain only those schools accredited by the Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils.

For detailed advice and guidance from experts in all sectors of special education, consult the traditionally printed version of Schools for Special Needs. To search all private schools in the UK visit independent schools.
