Scotland: additional support for learning

Additional support for learning Scotland's framework covers any child or young person who needs extra support to benefit from school education. Planning can include a child's plan and, for some, a co-ordinated support plan (CSP).

Opening a conversation Talk to your child's named person or the school's support for learning team about whether outdoor or animal-assisted support might help. Decisions about provision rest with the education authority.
