# data[].attributes.body
Children may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties which manifest themselves in many ways. These may include becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as displaying challenging or disruptive behaviour. These behaviours may reflect an underlying difficulty such as anxiety or depression. Other children and young people may have disorders such as attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyper-active disorder or attachment disorder.

Gross motor skills are large movements of the body. We encourage children to sit, walk, run, throw a ball, jump, hop climb equipment and climb stairs independently. These skills prepare them for enjoying walks, playing games with their friends and playing team games or sports.

Fine motor skills are small movements of the body, specifically using the fingers, hands and wrists. It encompasses the skills needed to move the hands with purpose, coordination and precision. We encourage children to mark make with different tools (chalk, paint, pencil etc), hold a tool confidently. This enables them to cut and chop food; paint objects; draw detailed pictures; use scissors correctly; hold a pencil correctly; form letters correctly; write extended pieces of writing.

There are four broad areas of SEND  2. Cognition and Learning

# data[].attributes.body
Support for learning difficulties may be required when children and young people learn at a slower pace than their peers, even with appropriate differentiation.  Learning difficulties cover a wide range of needs, including moderate learning difficulties (MLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD),where children are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum and associated difficulties with mobility and communication, through to profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), where children are likely to have severe and complex learning difficulties as well as a physical disability or sensory impairment.

Specific learning difficulties (SpLD) affect one or more specific aspects of learning. This encompasses a range of conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dyscalculia is a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics. It will be unexpected in relation to age, level of education and experience and occurs across all ages and abilities.

Mathematics difficulties are best thought of as a continuum, not a distinct category, and they have many causal factors. Dyscalculia falls at one end of the spectrum and will be distinguishable from other maths issues due to the severity of difficulties with number sense, including subitising, symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude comparison, and ordering. It can occur singly but often co-occurs with other specific learning difficulties, mathematics anxiety and medical conditions.

Where a child or young person is identified as having Special Educational Needs, schools and settings should take action to remove barriers to child or young persons learning and put effective special educational provision in place.

This is called SEN support. Support should take the form of a four-part cycle involving the parent and carers and the child or young person. By taking this approach earlier decisions and actions are revisited, refined and revised with a growing understanding of the child or young person needs and of what support will help to secure good progress and good outcomes for them. This approach is known as the Graduated Response.

Developing a good working relationship with staff at nursery, school or college, or with other professionals.

Considering your options, clarifying your priorities and making decisions.

This guide is to help parents, who wish to apply for an Education Health and Care Needs assessment. It sets out some of the key points to consider before applying and outlines the steps to be taken in the application process. We advise that parents considering an EHC request contact IAS to discuss their child's requirements in greater detail.

In England, there is a system of support for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), which is intended to ensure SEND are properly identified and catered for. The vast majority of learners with SEND will be supported in their education setting with support (see our IAS leaflet on SEND support).

For those with the most complex needs, additional assessment, support and funding is available from the local authority.

If you think your child may have SEND, the first step will be to speak with your child's teacher or nursery class leader. They will then speak with the member of staff appointed to manage SEND - the special educational needs coordinator (SENCO).﻿

The practice at Crumpsall Lane Primary is grounded in nurture, care and unconditional positive regard. As Link Educational Psychologist, I always look forward to visiting school and seeing the warm, friendly interactions between staff and students. Relational approaches are embedded within these interactions, whereby children appear to feel wanted, cared for and respected and in turn, care for and respect staff.
