At First Intuition, we are committed to supporting every learner, no matter your background or individual needs. Our mission is to help you achieve your goals and fulfil your potential. We believe that with the right support, everyone can thrive.
Learning differently isn’t a barrier to success. You may already have a diagnosis such as dyslexia, ADHD, or autism spectrum condition, or you might just feel that past experiences in education didn’t reflect your true potential. Whether it’s a recognised condition or undiagnosed challenge, you are not alone. Physical disabilities and health conditions may impact how you access your learning and we are happy to put support in place for you.
It’s not unusual for someone to find that their personal circumstances may be a barrier to their learning. This may be a temporary issue such as access to a suitable place to study, or a longer term issue to do with your home circumstances. If you feel that your personal circumstances are creating a barrier to your learning, please contact our safeguarding team who will be happy to support you.
By understanding your needs, we can make reasonable adjustments to support your learning. These may include:
 One-to-one support from your tutor or coach |
 Study skills coaching |
 Flexible study plans |
 Extra time or a reader in exams |
 Stop-the-clock breaks during assessments |
 Access to materials in alternative formats |
 Making sure that you are able to access the classroom |
We’ll work closely with you to agree the most effective support for your learning journey.
Even if you don’t have a formal diagnosis, please reach out. You might benefit from:
| • A free pre-assessment for dyslexia |
| • In some cases a referral for diagnostic assessment |
| • A Cognassist neurodiversity assessment to help you to better understand how you learn |
This could help you find new strategies to study and work more effectively.
Some learners choose to disclose a disability or neurodivergent condition to their employer. Many employers are open to making adjustments and may offer additional support. Whether or not you disclose is a personal decision, and we’ll always respect your confidentiality.
It is important to understand your rights to ensure you are treated fairly and can access the support necessary to perform at your best in the workplace or in education.
The Equality Act protects individuals with physical disabilities, health conditions, and neurodiverse profiles from discrimination. It’s your legal right to request reasonable adjustments at work or while studying.
You may be eligible for funding through the Access to Work scheme to cover the cost of workplace adaptations or coaching. Some examples of how this could help include,
