Supporting children with Autism, Learning Disability,
and other Neurodivergent needs
At Beeline Behaviour Change, we provide high-quality EOTAS and EOTIS services for children with autism, learning disabilities, and wider neurodivergent profiles. Our aim is to deliver personalised education and support in safe, nurturing environments where every child can thrive.
So what is the difference between EOTAS and EOTIS?
EOTAS - Section 19, Education Act 1996
Education other than at school applies to compulsory school age children (5-16 years old) and is triggered when a child cannot attend school due to illness, exclusion, or "otherwise".
The local authority is duty bound to arrange suitable education "at school or otherwise than at school".
EOTAS is usually temporary, though can be extended to age 18 at the local authority's discretion with a focus on maintaining education while the child is unable to attend school.
EOTAS programs do not require an EHCP.
EOTIS - Section 61, Children & Families Act 2014
Education other than in school applies to children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), ages 0-25 and is designed for when school is unsuitable, even with reasonable adjustments.
The local authority has the responsibility of securing and funding the provision and it must be written into Section F of the child or young person's EHCP.
Our EOTAS & EOTIS programs are built around each child or young person's unique strengths, needs, and interests, providing flexible and meaningful learning experiences outside of mainstream classrooms.
Our personalised approach
We use a blend of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), trauma informed approaches, and evidence-based teaching methods to ensure each child receives highly individualised learning.
Our programs focus on helping each learner develop academically, socially, and emotionally within a safe and supportive environment.
Our delivery includes:
-
Skills development through ABA within a precision teaching framework, enabling learners to make measurable progress.
-
A differentiated curriculum designed to meet each child's unique learning style, strengths and needs.
-
1:1 in the home, community, or designated learning spaces.
-
Functional academics that link directly to real-life application and independence.
-
Social and communication development using evidence-based strategies.
-
Behaviour support to reduce barriers to learning and promote positive engagement.
-
Collaboration with families, schools, and local authorities to ensure progress is consistent and meaningful.
