Course description
Introduction
These sessions are designed for children with a range of needs who are struggling to engage in the school environment, experience overwhelm or those who require targeted support and intervention for a specific reason as determined by the school. The sessions are designed to focus on exploring the child's strengths, their sense of self and their awareness of their barriers to accessing education or specific barriers they experience. The sessions allow a more in-depth focus on how the child's SEND need may impact their presentation. The programme is personalised to each child and their individual barriers and aims to explore the provision and strategies required to help support them in overcoming barriers.
