Welcome to Switch Learning
Switch Learning Limited was created by Racheal Bell after a 20 year career in education. Racheal has extensive experience working with children, and their families, who have specific learning and behaviour needs.
Early Childhood Centres and Schools have an increasing number of students needing specialist support and resources to cater for the range of learning and behaviour needs. This demand has been the inspiration to create Switch Learning, an online store for parents, teachers, SENCo’s, resource teachers, private providers, speech therapists and occupational therapists.
If you are struggling to find resources that cater for specific learning or behaviour needs we are happy to offer advice or source suitable products.
