SEND provision is extremely important to the education team at STEMx. Our method of working is naturally inclusive so please do reach out if you’d like us to deliver the STEMx experience in your specialist setting.

We recognise that our workshops have been designed for mainstream settings and, therefore, may not be appropriate for all specialist contexts. However, we can make some reasonable adaptations to workshops when delivering in specialist schools so that pupils can access the learning. Social stories can be provided in advance of your visit, for anyone who would find this supportive.

We’ll work with you to understand your pupils’ needs and offer all the information you need to make an informed choice about our services. You know your pupils best. Equally, we always work in pupils’ best interests. If we don’t think we can provide what your pupils need, we’ll let you know.
