Neurodiversity in Schools
Support For Teachers, Students & Parents
Excellent education is not simply about good teaching - the 'transmit', as it were,
but also about the 'receive' part of the equation.
Rob Williams (Headmaster of Bishopsgate) shares his experience of The Key Clinic.
Are the children at your school able to fully process all that great teaching?
The Key Clinic is a trusted partner to schools, removing the barriers that prevent children from achieving their full potential.
Do you notice…
A mismatch between how intelligent a child appears and what they can translate onto paper?
Certain children are zoning out and require extra support?
Does it take some children longer or more effort to complete tasks?
Some children are more challenging and disruptive in the classroom and it seems beyond their control?
Retained primitive reflexes, auditory processing issues and even biochemical imbalances can all make school work much harder than it should be. Children end up having to compensate for things not functioning as they should be, which means they underperform relative to their intelligence.
We work to reduce these barriers, making it much easier for children to be able to perform at their best. More importantly, our work helps to build confidence, resilience and happiness.
Working together, we can achieve:
✓ Better overall academic results
✓ Happier, healthier, more emotionally resilient children
✓ Less disruption and better concentration in class
✓ Reduced distraction to other children

How To Support Neurodiverse Students
We specialise in working with neurodiverse individuals, as well as those without diagnosis, to help them fully ignite their natural ability to grow and learn. Ensuring that every type of learner has the opportunity to flourish. We have everything under one roof, with a wide range of expertise, with a fully individualised approach to unlocking potential.
Learning Difficulties Support
Everyone learns differently, but for some, underlying barriers prevent them learning easily or effectively.
Smart children are typically able to compensate up to a point, but as the workload and level increase, they begin to underperform relative to how smart they are. The ability to compensate is running out.
We work to address the root causes that may be holding a child back. This may include integrating retained primitive reflexes, improving gut functioning, rebalancing the nutrient levels, and improving listening skills.
If a child has been receiving treatment, do not stop or suspend their treatment program without consulting their doctor. Our approach is intended to complement any medical treatment, rather than replace it.
Training For Learning Support Assistants & Teachers
If a problem is identified, then it is better to assess this while a child is still young, before they begin to lose their self-confidence, become increasingly exhausted or start to fall behind.
Importantly the work done now, will be carried with that child for a lifetime, making their future school life and career much easier.
We provide support for the supporters!
By combining forces with SenCo departments we can achieve game-changing results together!
We remove the barriers to learning and Senco’s does the essential task of filling in the knowledge gaps and establishing new working patterns.
Neurodiverse & SEN Support For Parents
There is a saying that “you are only as happy as your least happy child”. If a child is experiencing difficulties, then it has an impact on the whole family. By working to address the root causes of problems, we frequently are told that “home life has just become much easier!”
We work closely with families to support them during our programmes, so that together, we can achieve the desired outcome. It is important to understand that this is a team effort: with families, pupils and The Key Clinic all involved to reach the best results.
We also have a very experienced CBT psychotherapist (and ex-SEN teacher) on hand, to provide additional help and support if required.
