About us

Positive Leap was set up to meet the demand for specialist assessments and tuition. Support is provided for children and adults with a range of Specific Learning Difficulties and for those experiencing literacy and numeracy difficulties. In addition advice can be given regarding appropriate access arrangements for exam candidates.
