SNAP-SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties) and SNAP-B (Behaviour) are online diagnostic assessments designed to pinpoint specific learning and behavioural difficulties which without diagnosis, may limit a child’s potential to learn. They also offer targeted interventions involving both home and school, offering an entirely rounded approach to fully support the specific needs of every child.
SNAP follows the Assess - Plan - Do - Review model set out in the SEND Code of Practice (2015).
SNAP-SpLD is suitable for ages 4 to 16 SNAP-B is suitable for ages 5 to 16
SNAP-SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties) identifies and provides interventions for 20 learning difficulties - more than any other single SEN tool. The three online questionnaires identify strengths and weaknesses and generate interventions based on the child's individual needs. There are 86 interventions to choose from for ages 4 to 6 and 134 interventions for ages 7 to 16.

The SNAP resources provide essential documentary evidence and offer a valuable contribution to identifying needs and safeguarding too. It focuses us on the impact of the support we provide to pupils, rather than how pupils access support according to the category they fit into.
I would recommend SNAP to other schools due to the simple, effective way of identifying the children’s strengths and weaknesses and the numerous, varied interventions it supplies. Because of the quantity and quality of the data SNAP-SpLD provides, it gives teachers a quick, efficient tool to help close the gap with underachieving learners.
