Coordination difficulties can impact on a child/young person’s daily life skills such as handwriting, using cutlery, riding bike and personal care. At Yes @ Areté Learning Trust we follow a research based approach and recommend that key skills should be focused on. We also support the inclusion of students in a range of activities which develop basic coordination skills of balance, core strength and agility.
Many children have trouble concentrating and paying attention in class. There can be a number of different reasons why they have difficulties focusing. Reasons may include:
- lack of practice in a new environment.
- lack of understanding of learning
- isn't being challenged enough
- distracted by external stimuli
- lack of motivation
- sleep or diet difficulties
- difficulties with organisation
- school anxiety
If a student is having severe problems in the classroom following instructions, are disrupting the learning of others, and are making limited progress , and the other possible factors have been considered, it is recommended that learning difficulties such as ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia or Auditory Processing Disorder are considered.
YES@Areté Learning Trust is able to help to develop a good understanding of how to support an individual student.
