Support, without labels.
A learner profile would guide educational adjustments. It would not diagnose dyslexia, ADHD or another condition.
FOR PARENTS, CARERS & LEARNERS
“I know what to do.”
A small sentence.
A big difference.
FIXSTEM’s vision is to make science practicals feel more familiar—and to give families a clear picture of what to celebrate and what to practise next.

LESS GUESSWORK AT HOME
Support that connects
to the school lesson.
A planned pre-practical pack would let your child meet the equipment, words and sequence before the lesson. They could use visual steps or spoken instructions where helpful.
Afterwards, a family view would explain the learner’s progress in plain language, aligned with the school’s next learning goal.
There is no need to run a school experiment at home. Preparation and discussion should support the supervised practical.
EXAMPLE FAMILY UPDATEFictional illustration
This week’s discovery
Your child recorded two current measurements and explained the pattern.
A moment to celebrate
They used the results table to organise their observations.
One thing to practise
Ask: “Why would a scientist repeat a measurement?” Encourage an explanation in their own words.
Next at school
Practise explaining how to improve the method.
ACCESS COMES FIRST
Different supports.
The same ambition.
The first focus is specific learning difficulties, especially dyslexia. Broader support for other learner needs is a longer-term direction to develop with specialists.
Preparation, without pressure.
A readiness difficulty should lead to help from school. Digital checks should not become an automatic barrier to participation.
Access, beyond a device.
Mobile-friendly preparation, school-supported access and printable alternatives are design priorities for the pilot.
Your experience
can shape the design.
