PAGS rocket logoPAGS VS SNAP

A screening profile tells you there's a need.
‍PAGS tells you what to do about it.

SNAP (Special Needs Assessment Profile) is a well-established screening tool for identifying SpLD indicators. PAGS picks up where a screening profile stops, turning indicators into a full assessment, EHCP-ready evidence, targets and provision mapping.

↗Screening flags the need. PAGS builds the evidence, the targets and the provision plan that follow it.

FIVE REASONS SCHOOLS PAIR PAGS WITH SNAP

A screener starts the conversation. PAGS finishes it.

SNAP is a trusted first step for flagging SpLD indicators. Here's what happens after a school runs PAGS alongside it.

01

What does the assessment actually cover?

SNAP: a screening profile focused on SpLD indicators (dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD-type traits and more).

PAGS adds:Full assessment across 7 developmental areas, going beyond indicators into a complete profile of need.

02

What happens after the screening result comes back?

SNAP: produces a profile of likely indicators. Next steps are left to the SENCo.

PAGS adds:Targets, provision mapping and costed interventions generated automatically from the results.

03

Does it produce EHCP-ready evidence?

SNAP: a useful early indicator, but not designed as standalone EHCP evidence.

PAGS adds:Structured, EHCP-ready reports generated straight from assessment data.

04

How is pricing structured?

SNAP: priced per screening pack, purchased as needed.

PAGS adds:One flat annual fee for unlimited assessments across the whole cohort.

05

Can results be tracked and reviewed over time?

SNAP: each screening is a point-in-time snapshot.

PAGS adds:One shared platform tracking progress and evidence trust-wide, review after review.

WHAT PAGS ADDS ON TOP OF SNAP

A great screener deserves a proper follow-through.

SNAP is a well-regarded screening tool for flagging SpLD indicators quickly and affordably, a trusted first step for many SENCos.
PAGS is a full assessment and evidence platform. It takes the indicators SNAP surfaces and turns them into a complete profile, targets, provision and EHCP-ready evidence.

SNAP

Fast, affordable SpLD screening

  • Quick screening profile for dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD-type traits and more
  • Well-established, widely used across UK schools
  • Simple to administer as a first-pass indicator
  • Purchased per screening pack, as needed
  • A point-in-time snapshot, not a tracked assessment

Great for flagging need early. Not designed to generate targets, provision plans or EHCP evidence on its own.

PAGS ADDS

Full assessment, evidence and provision - built from the results

  • Complete profile across 7 developmental areas, not just SpLD indicators
  • Targets and provision maps generated automatically from results
  • EHCP-ready reports built directly from assessment data
  • One shared platform tracking progress trust-wide, review after review
  • AI-assisted insight to flag escalating need early

Flat annual fee, unlimited assessments, the natural next step after a SNAP screening.

FROM SCREENING TO EVIDENCE

SENCos use PAGS to take screening results the rest of the way

Instead of seeing three children a day because of all the different hurdles we used to go through, I can now see up to five students a day. Before, interventions were not being recorded. Now the whole school is doing them.
