SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES (SEND)

I have lots of experience in special educational needs and disabilities including;

  • cerebal palsy 

  • visual impairments 

  • physical disabilities 

  • speech and language needs

​

I also have lots of training on special educational needs including;

  • An introduction to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Administration of Medication in the Early Years

  • Autism & Sensory Issues

  • Autism Online Course

All certificates are available to view

Due to the training I have undertaken I feel confident that i am able to support children and young people with special needs. I am also willing to undertake any necessary further training to meet the needs of individual children.

The curriculum will follow certain topics but will also largely follow the children interests and current learning goals ensuring that each child reaches their full potential. 

All children’s progress will be constantly tracked allowing both the childminder and families to know how to support children to reach their next steps. 

Support will be given to children in a variety ways dependent on the support needed. All support will be discussed with parents and carers to ensure that a child centred approach is used. 

​

I strongly believe that parents and primary carers are the most valuable resources in a child’s life. Parents will be involved as much as possible allowing them to be the decision makers for their child. Dependant on the parent and carers there are many ways in which parents will be involved in the setting such as;

  •  Discussions at drop of and pick up time (dependent upon other children at setting)

  • Texts

  • Telephone calls

  • Newsletters

  • Child’s Communication Book

My childminding home from home environment is very accessible, it has three possible entrance and exit doors allowing people to use the one which best fits their needs. There is a downstairs toilet for children who are unable to get upstairs and lots of large areas which can be created if necessary for wheelchair uses and crutches etc.
