Specific learning difficulties, Autism, and full diagnostic assessments

What are specific learning difficulties (SpLDs)?

SpLD is a collective term used to cover a range of neurological conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia DCD, dyscalculia and AD(H)D as an SpLD. They affect the way information is learned and processed.

SpLDs

What is autism?

Autism is a lifelong, developmental impairment that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. It is a spectrum condition, so although all autistic people share certain difficulties, being autistic affects different people in different ways.
