Educational Support

CandLE is a not-for-profit teaching organisation supporting students across the UK who use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and AT (Assistive Technology). We help students achieve their full academic potential by making learning accessible through an individualised approach.

Our Teachers, Tutors, Teaching Assistants and Resource Developers provide learning support for students who could benefit from AAC and AT.

At CandLE the unique learning needs of every student is considered and catered for. This involves the use of adaptive teaching approaches, differentiation and scaffolding to provide a platform for successful inclusive education. By doing this our students are able to access the same social and educational opportunities as their non-disabled peers.

We offer a range of bespoke Educational Support Services including:

Personalised curricula, individualised literacy programs, curriculum adaptions, accredited courses and qualifications as well as ongoing advice and training.

Our Specialist Resource Developers are skilled in using a range of AAC/AT software to create bespoke high and low tech resources.

We have our own ‘in house’ Speech and Language Therapist who has expertise in AAC.

We have a team of Teachers, Education Specialists and Tutors with a broad range of SEN, Mainstream and curriculum expertise who can provide 1:1, small group and whole school support. Our Teaching Assistants can support the learning of AAC Users in the classroom.

CandLE have a team of Assessors that can provide communication and learning needs Assessments.

“I believe it is vital to respond and adapt to students’ overall needs while teaching, supporting them to grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.”
