Why do you work with/support Catch Up^®?
Having been a teacher, an educational psychologist and a researcher in the field of special educational needs, I am very aware of the central importance of literacy and numeracy, and of the enormous benefits of an intervention such as Catch Up^®, which is both substantively and cost effective, and helps schools to support the many children who have ‘fallen behind’ to ‘catch up’.
