Cognition and Learning Needs

Children with cognition and learning needs are likely to be learning at a slower rate than other children their age. They may struggle to process information quickly and remember new concepts, their progress may vary day to day. Some children may have difficulties with all parts of the curriculum, whereas others may struggle more with particular areas such as literacy (dyslexia) or maths (dyscalculia). If learning needs are unmet, this is likely to lead to frustration, low confidence and self esteem and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Meeting Needs: Supporting Identified needs through a Graduated Approach

Strategies are organised under three headings using the Thrive Framework:

  • Getting Advice (Adjustments in the Classroom)

  • Getting Help (Targeted/ Group Interventions)

  • Getting More Help (Specialist or 1:1 Interventions)

 

Strategies are suggestions and not a tick list and it should be the case that some children just need the first section and others need the first two and others need all three.

 

Hyperlinks have been included to make it easy to locate information about suggested approaches and interventions. The Intervention Overview page details information and costings for each intervention per Key Stage.
