Reasonable Adjustments: What to Ask School For

You know your child needs more support at school but aren't sure what to ask for

Steps

Know your position: schools have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments for children with additional needs. This applies whether or not your child has a formal diagnosis
Request a meeting with the learning support coordinator and come prepared with specific asks, not vague concerns
Use the checklist below as your starting point — not all adjustments apply to every child, so choose 3-5 that would make the most immediate difference
Frame requests as 'what helps': 'He responds really well to a warning before transitions' rather than 'He can't cope with change'
Follow up in writing after any meeting: 'As discussed, I understand the school will...' This creates accountability and a paper trail
Review adjustments regularly. What helps at the start of the year may need updating

What you need

Meeting with the learning support team, written follow-up emails, knowledge of your rights

Why it works

Schools have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments but many parents don't know what's possible or how to frame the request. This checklist provides specific, proven adjustments organised by category, so you can choose the 3-5 that would make the most immediate difference and present them clearly.

Age guidance

Relevant from school entry through secondary school. Review and update adjustments every term.

Real-world example

A parent chose three adjustments from the checklist — a fidget tool, a visual timetable, and a 5-minute transition warning — and presented them at a meeting with the learning support team. All three were agreed and implemented within a week. The child's teacher reported they were calmer and more focused within a fortnight.

Troubleshooting

If the school says they 'can't afford' reasonable adjustments, this is generally not a valid reason under disability and education law
If your child has significant needs, request a formal assessment for additional support — the school or you can usually initiate this
Seek free, impartial advice from a parent advocacy service if you're struggling to get adjustments agreed
Private reports (OT, educational psychologist, speech therapy) carry weight even if not from a public service
