Specialist Support Service  
Specialist teaching and support

The Specialist Support Service (SSS) is a front-line service which operates across the whole City of Birmingham and is part of Inclusion Support.

The SSS exists to support the successful inclusion of pupils with special educational needs into local communities, nurseries, mainstream schools and colleges and give them equal access to learning.

We aim to ensure that they achieve the highest possible educational standards and also gain the social benefits of being taught in a local mainstream school.

The SSS has two main support teams of specialist teachers, support assistants and technicians
The teams are:

  • Team for children with visual impairment
    (birth to post 16)
  • Team for children with hearing impairment
    (birth to post 16)
The counselling service is available for families of children with either a hearing or visual impairment or both.
