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.

Autism & Anxiety

This course will examine how anxiety can affect autistic young people

Friday, 22nd November 2024: 9.30am - 1.00pm

Event Summary:

Autistic children can seem more anxious than other children, partly due to the world being an uncertain and sometimes unsafe place for them and partly that they experience sensory and emotional experiences differently. This can have a huge impact on their mental health. This course will examine how anxiety can affect autistic young people, what that might look like in their behaviour and how we can support them to feel safe and manage uncertainty. We will explore co-regulation and self-regulation strategies that can enable them to feel more in control and confident in different situations.

What will you learn:

That anxiety is not what you see, and how we can interpret the anxiety behind some behaviour and masking.
That an autistic person sees the world through an autistic lens and how that can help us develop the right support to help them feel safe and confident.
That teaching about the science of sensory systems and emotional responses can help an autistic person manage being anxious.
That we have a big part to play in making school and the wider world feel safe for autistic people.
That there are lots of autism friendly resources you can use to support autistic children in school and at home.
That working together is key, starting with the child’s voice.
