After speaking with many providers of screeners we came across Dr Amanda Kirby’s Do-It Profiler. The Do-IT Profiler is a web-based screening system that can help teachers have a better, more informed understanding of all learners, and especially those who have learning difficulties/disabilities or may show a neurodiverse profile. Within 30 minutes this online profiler provides a more inclusive approach by screening across a range of neurocognitive traits, taking a learner-centred approach focusing not only on challenges but considering strengths as well.
It offers age-appropriate assessments, advice, and support to help every learner achieve their potential. Schools can make data-driven decisions using accurate, up-to-date information, and deliver personalised, learner-centred guidance. With no data entry or marking required, it saves time and provides instant results along with practical guidance. Data is automatically analysed at the learner, class, school, and cluster school levels, making it easy to provide evidence of action and intervention.
Child-centred, it paints a complete picture that includes the child’s voice and can also captures additional information from parents and teachers. One of its key advantages is that any staff member can administer the screener, eliminating the need to wait for a SENCO. It can also be conducted in multiple languages. Already used by over 100,000 children and various agencies, including those in Scottish and Welsh prisons, universities, and colleges, it has a proven track record of effectiveness.
We are really excited to be working with Dr Amanda Kirby and to sharing further news with you on our roll-out of the profiler.
