Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers an evidence-based approach to empower early years, primary and secondary education professionals to identify individual pupil needs quickly and carefully, without the long wait or cost for a specialist diagnosis.
The resource guides the reader through aspects of core cognitive testing, showing how to identify specific areas of need from phonological and visual processing to executive functioning and mental health. It advocates for child-centred and school-based solutions for âwhat now?â and âwhat next?â, based on screening data, and supports SEND teams to provide targeted strategies and advice for colleagues and families alike. At a strategic level, the book enables school leaders to use cohort data over time to anticipate trends and to develop and improve provision, policies, and practice, ensuring that no child misses out.
With suggestions for quick, free, easy and timely assessments, this comprehensive resource is an invaluable tool for all SEND profe
