Question

Is there financial assistance for educatiion for children with learning disabilities?

I am not sure, but public schools are suppose to provide this help for FREE, *IF* a child qualifies for this help.

It is called 'special education' in schools and is mandated by the IDEA law 'individuals with disabilities education act'

For early years-under 5's you can get support through Social Care Services, Common Assessment Framework, LEA, INNEX funding etc. Also Portage (through Health Visitor usually)

Primary Schools: INNEX Funding, LEA and some charities can offer support (eg lend equipment , training etc), there's things like HomeStart for support within the home (getting child to school), Housing Association-ensuring child is located near school. etc
