Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia
1
What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which causes people to experience problems with processing certain types of information. This most commonly affects reading and writing and may lead to inconsistent spelling or getting letters muddled up or the wrong way around. Dyslexia is a cluster of symptoms rather than a single set condition, which individuals may experience to a greater or lesser extent. It can also have an impact on other areas such as map reading, planning and organisation and short term memory.

Individual support​
The support that is needed is very much dependent on each individual, because the condition can range from mild to severe with everything in between. Having Dyslexia has no affect on individuals’ intelligence levels. Dyslexia causes day to day problems and challenges but these can be managed with the right support – that is where organisations like Send Care Foundation come in. We are committed to helping people as much as we can.​

What is Autism?
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, speech and nonverbal communication.
4
What is Dyscalculia?
Dyscalculia is a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics.
5
What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people’s behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse.

Different does not mean inferior
These days we are more likely to embrace the differences between human beings and to understand that being different can by positive. People who experience Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia often have other strengths such as reasoning capabilities and visual, artistic and creative flare.
At Send Care Foundation we are here to provide practical advice, support and guidance but also to celebrate the way that people who have these conditions are able to lead full lives and to fully contribute and excel in those areas that are right for them.

How we help
Send Care Foundation was set up by a team which has experience of living with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. We wanted to create an organisation where people can get guidance and advice from a single source.

We offer our own programme to screen for Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. Please contact us for further information on this service.
