YES@ Areté Learning Trust - Understanding Specific Learning Differences Support

Here at YES @ Areté Learning Trust we strive to promote an understanding of Specific Learning Differences in order to support students/pupils, parents and professionals.

We focus on:

  • the early identification of children and young people’s needs and early intervention to support them.
  • the development of inclusive practice in order to remove
  • barriers to learning.
  • the provision of high-quality training.

 

We offer:

  • support with developing inclusive practice in different settings.
  • solution focused meetings with school staff, parents and
  • pupils to identify barriers to learning.
  • analysis of current provision focusing on impact, individual
  • pupil assessment with comprehensive reporting.
  • support with planning and the delivery of personalised
  • literacy and numeracy programmes.
  • progress reviews in person or by telephone.
  • access arrangements for external exams for KS4 and KS5.

 

We believe that the relationship between schools, professionals and parents is incredibly important, which is why we promote a ‘Parents as Partners’ ethos.

The SEND Code of Practice places great importance on involving parents and children in identifying, understanding and taking decisions about special educational needs. We work with parents, recognising the importance of neurodiversity, to create unique pupil profiles.

For parents be at the heart of decision making about their child, it is helpful for them to be fully informed about their child’s needs.

We liaise with a number of parents support group and offer:

  • bespoke support.
  • workshops, meetings and specialist information sharing.
  • reduced rates on all our training events for parents/carers.

Addressing Handwriting Difficulties

Many children struggle with handwriting with a negative effect on their confidence and academic attainment.

Addressing Handwriting Difficulties

Friday, 6th December 2024
9.30am - 2.30pm

The development of handwriting is an important activity in the school curriculum. The process of handwriting involves the complicated co-ordination of motor, perceptual and cognitive skills which, do not always
develop spontaneously, but require considerable explanation, demonstration, experimentation and practice.

Many children struggle with this area of their education with a negative effect on their confidence and academic attainment.

This practical training day will consider:

  • Biomechanical and ergonomic influences on handwriting legibility
  • Consider handwriting from both a perceptual-motor and kinaesthetic perspective
  • Identifying issues experienced by children in both primary and secondary education 
  • When it is appropriate to recommend the use of a keyboard to aid the individuals written communication

Training day outcomes:

Delegates will be able to analyse samples from pupils whose handwriting they are concerned about

Formulate a specific intervention plan to address the identified issues
