Will Cognassist add to my admin?

No, it's built to take admin off you. The platform holds the reasoning behind each learner's support, so at review your whole task is to pick what you supported, confirm you delivered it, and note the impact. The Coverage Checker coaches your notes as you write them.

Is the cognitive assessment a diagnosis?

No. It produces a cognitive profile across nine domains: a signal for your professional judgement, not a diagnosis, and it doesn't by itself establish disability under the Equality Act 2010. It informs your decision; it doesn't make it.

Do I need to be a specialist to use it?

No. You're set up to support diverse cognitive needs as a non-specialist, backed by the platform and by your additional learning support team, who are amplified across every learner rather than replaced. Inclusion is everyone's job, and you're not doing it alone.

Is the support plan fixed once it's generated?

No. The draft plan is a starting point to co-create with the learner during your conversation, shaped together and never imposed.

Can a learner decline the support?

Yes. Support is offered, not imposed. A learner can choose to decline, and that's a legitimate choice, not a failure.

Cognassist for tutors and coaches

Inclusion made easier, in the flow of your teaching

You're the person in the room with the learner. Cognassist carries the admin behind the support, so your time goes on them, not the paperwork.

Your caseload is full, specialist time is short, and the admin lands on top of teaching

None of that is a reflection on you. Full caseloads, limited specialist time and paperwork on top of teaching are the job as it really is. The only question is whether your tools add to the load or take it off you.

Full caseloads, with little specialist time to go round
Confidence in supporting diverse cognitive needs varies, often with no specialist training behind it
Support to record and evidence, on top of the teaching itself

Built around your day

Three ways Cognassist makes the hard job easier

The heavy lifting is done for you, support fits the flow of teaching, and your judgement stays central.

You bring judgement, not data entry
Cognassist holds the reasoning for you, linked back to the possible barrier the assessment identified. At each review your task is simple: pick what you supported, confirm you delivered it, and note the difference it made.
Support that fits the flow of teaching
Reasonable adjustments are recommended for each learner and delivered as the normal way of learning, not a separate referral. As you write up support, the Coverage Checker coaches your notes so you know they read well, without extra admin.
Supported to include, never left alone
You don't need to be a specialist. The platform and your additional learning support team have your back, and on-demand professional development for inclusive teaching (Cognassist Training) is there at the point of need, built into the platform you already use.
