Maths for children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD or autism
Tasleem builds every plan around how your child learns. That might mean breaking a skill into smaller steps, allowing extra processing time, using your child's interests to keep them engaged, or slowing the pace. This is how those approaches can shape a maths lesson for each of these needs.
| Need | What it can make hard in maths | How a lesson can adapt |
|---|---|---|
| Dyscalculia | Understanding what numbers mean, estimating, and remembering number facts and the steps of a method. | Each method is broken into smaller steps, with extra processing time and a slower pace, so your child is not rushed onto the next idea before the last one has settled. |
| Dyslexia | Reading word problems, remembering times tables and keeping a long method in the right order. | Smaller steps and extra processing time, so your child is not rushed through a long question. |
| ADHD | Staying with a long question to the end, and losing marks to small slips. | Short steps, and your child's own interests built into the questions to keep them engaged. |
| Autism | Changes to routine, question wording that does not mean exactly what it says, and busy or noisy screens. | Sessions adapted to your child's sensory needs and communication differences. |
What a SENCO brings to maths lessons
A SENCO is the teacher who leads special needs support in a school. The SEND Code of Practice puts dyslexia and dyscalculia under cognition and learning, one of the four areas of need a SENCO plans support for. Tasleem is a qualified SENCO and Specialist Teacher, with over 25 years supporting children and young people aged 3 to 19 across mainstream and specialist education.
Tasleem does not diagnose dyslexia or dyscalculia. If your child has an assessment or a school report, bring it to the free consultation and the lessons will start from it.

How lessons run
The first session is about getting to know your child. Where they are academically, and also how they learn best, what motivates them and where their confidence sits.
Tasleem then builds a plan around what she finds. That can mean breaking a skill into smaller steps, allowing extra processing time, using your child's interests to keep them engaged, or slowing the pace.
After every session you get an update on what was covered, how your child responded and what the focus is next time.
She shares strategies you can use at home, so the progress carries on between lessons.
Bring to the free consultation
- Your child's EHCP or school support plan, if they have one
- Recent reports from school or therapists
- What your child finds hard, and what they enjoy
What a parent said
Tasleem has been amazing with both of my autistic children. My oldest is getting ready for SATs and my youngest is non verbal and attends a specialist school. She understands autism, sensory needs and communication differences really well and always adapts her sessions to suit each child.

Questions to ask any SEND tutor
Whoever you choose, these six questions separate a SEND specialist from a tutor who is SEND aware.
- Are you a qualified teacher, and do you hold a SEND qualification such as the SENCO award?
- Have you taught children with my child's need before, and in what settings?
- Do you have an enhanced DBS check?
- How do you adapt an online lesson for attention, sensory or processing difficulties?
- Will you read my child's EHCP or support plan and plan lessons around it?
- What will you tell me after each session?

Start with a free maths assessment
Before any lessons, your child can take a free maths assessment, so the first lesson starts in the right place.
Years 4 to 8
For 11+, SATs and KS3. Your child takes the free Maths Level Finder. It checks 192 skills across 16 topics and grades each topic Foundation, Developing, Secure or Mastered. The results come up straight away, and you get an emailed report naming the lessons to do next.
Year 9 and up
We send your child a GCSE Foundation or Higher paper, whichever suits their level. Your child marks it with the official mark scheme, so you can both see where the marks went. To ask for a paper, mention it when you book the free call, or send us a message on WhatsApp and we will get one over to you.
You also get one free 15 minute call, and you choose when it happens. Have it before the assessment and we will help you pick the right paper or starting point. Or have it afterwards and we will go through the results with you.
