Our Roots In SEND
We were founded by SEND professionals and built on a deep understanding of the lived realities of special educational needs and disabilities. Everyone in our team has a connection to SEND – whether through personal experience or professional practice – so we genuinely understand the challenges and the importance of getting it right.
Putting Young People First
We are dedicated to improving outcomes for all young people with SEND, including those who are excluded or at risk of exclusion. No matter how complex their needs or how disengaged they may be from education, we have the experience, patience and creativity to help them reconnect, make progress, and feel safe and valued. With care and persistence, we work to re-engage them in education, support their well-being, and guide them towards a positive, meaningful adulthood.
Support That Makes a Difference
ASEND provides specialist tuition, therapeutic support, and expert consultancy to local authorities, schools, and families. We design and deliver EOTAS packages, 1:1 and small-group tuition, and SEND-focused training and advice — all tailored to each young person’s unique needs. Our nationwide network includes qualified and experienced tutors, therapists, psychologists, mentors and other professionals who share our commitment to inclusive, relationship-based practice.
