How Cognassist helps providers plan the right support
A short overview of the plan stage: how an assessed need becomes a personalised support plan any tutor can draft in minutes and co-create with the learner.
Turn the assessed need into action, without a specialist
In the plan stage, the plan starts from the assessment, not a blank page. Instead of waiting for a learner to self-disclose, or a specialist to hand-write each plan, the platform matches the strongest reasonable adjustments to each learner's cognitive profile and course, so any tutor drafts a personalised plan in minutes. Professional judgement personalises it; the learner shapes it and agrees it.
- Built from the assessed need: the strongest matched reasonable adjustments are added to the draft, pre-written and personalised to the learner's course.
- No specialist qualification required: the platform pre-matches the adjustments, so your additional learning support (ALS) team is amplified, not replaced.
- A starting point, not a verdict: the draft is fully editable and co-created with the learner, who can shape it or decline.
Where the plan stage sits in the graduated approach
What the assessment surfaced becomes the plan, and the agreed plan carries into Do and review as delivered, evidenced support. Plan is the second link of the golden thread.

What Plan gives you
Two capabilities that build the plan
Plan is two capabilities working together: capture the learner context that informs the plan, then turn the assessed need into a personalised support plan any tutor can draft and co-create.
Support plans
A personalised support plan drafted from the assessed need in minutes, then co-created with the learner and agreed together, never imposed.
ExploreKnown Barriers
Capture a learner's context and disclosures, with supporting evidence linked to each one, before the needs-assessment conversation. It enriches the plan.

Customer story · Bedford College Group
Expert-grade personalised support, without specialist dependency
