Dual and Multiple Exceptionality (DME) Trust

The DME Trust is a partnership set up to support children and young people who have high learning potential alongside special educational needs or disabilities. A page on the Potential Plus UK website explains that dual or multiple exceptionality refers to individuals with both high learning potential and conditions such as neurodevelopmental disorders, learning difficulties or mental‑health issues. The trust’s mission is to improve the lives and education of young people with DME by providing information and advice to families, schools and professionals, and its vision is to advance understanding and ensure appropriate education so that individuals with DME can fulfil their potential. The trust advocates a strength‑based approach, collaboration and positive relationships.
