'I think my child needs support at school. What should I do?' is posed as the question for this week's FAQ Friday. The colour scheme chosen for this week is a dark, deep yellow.
Part one of a three part answer highlights that the first step should always be to raise any worries you have with a class or guidance teacher to help them understand concerns and potential issues.
Part two of the answer highlights that the school should work with you and your child to identify what would work best, and it may be helpful to share what works at home. Schools should also take into account information provided by other professionals involved with your child. Card two of three.
This final card highlights that support should always be needs based and child-centred and may look different from one person to the next. Answer card three of three.
One of our most common qu. is what to do and where to start when talking about #supportneeds, particularly if a child is at the beginning of their learner journey or their needs have changed.
Our advice? Ask for support, share what you know and remember, one size doesn't fit all.
