Support by need
Patience lists autism among the areas they support. For an autistic child that usually means preparing them for transitions, keeping a visual schedule to hand, managing sensory load in a busy room and prompting peer interaction without taking it over.
Patience lists ADHD among the areas they support. For a child with ADHD the work is mostly attention and organisation: breaking tasks into short steps, cueing the child back on task, building in movement breaks the teacher agrees to, and keeping track of books and homework.
Patience lists dyslexia and specific learning difficulties among the areas they support. For dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties the support is about access: reading instructions aloud, scribing or using assistive tools where the school allows, and chunking written work so the child can show what they know.
