SEND Strategies for the Primary Years

Angebote / Angebote:

With as many as 13% of children in schools in England receiving some form of SEN support, and waiting times of up to 3-5 years for a child to receive a formal diagnosis, there is a critical need for strategies teachers can use in the classroom now. SEND Strategies While They Wait is the solution you've been looking for! The book gives teachers (and parents!) practical strategies that they can put in place 'while they wait.' The strategies are practical, easy to implement and resource and have no detrimental impact on children who turn out not have a suspected diagnosis. Relevant to children who may be impacted by autism, PDA, ADHD, dyslexia, DCD, dyscalculia or visual stress, the book is split into seven areas of classroom difficulties and the relevant support: - Speech, language and communication - Literacy - Numeracy - Motor skills - Emotional regulation - Sensory differences - Concentration and organisation. Each chapter contains simple, effective actions to differentiate and improve learning outcomes for pupils who need more support in the classroom as well as at home. For example, now and next boards, visual timetables and chunking tasks can support emotional regulation needs associated with autism, and mnemonics, key word banks and reading pens can support literacy needs connected to dyslexia. This book and the strategies can be used by any teacher or parent, not just SEND specialists. Georgina Durrant is the founder of The SEN Resources Blog, a leading SEND website in the UK, and this book features her trademark neuro-affirmative, supportive approach throughout.
