- Not enough time to prepare for an assessment e.g. reading case history/ knowing about the student before they entered the room. 
- Not having what was promised, e.g. toys in each area, areas of the assessment that would be completed by admin. 
- Not enough time to modify standardised assessments i.e. language assessments for visual impairments. 
- Assessment tool kits were not provided. 
- Parent questionnaire was too long and made many angry- questions not tailored to the student e.g. questions about birth being asked to those in 6th form. 
- Staff not having access to the relevant documentations. 
- Presence of WCT during the assessments?? 
- Difficult to observe natural play and social interaction- unnatural setting. 
- Obtaining information about what equipment the student has in class- difficult to obtain class teacher information. 
- Missed opportunity to observe students during summer scheme and during partial reopening. 
- Would have been great at the start of lockdown. 
- 2 hrs with the 3 disciplines

- What went well: 
- Working as a team- good experience to work in an MDT way. 
- Observing parents and students interacting together. 
- Getting to meet staff across disciplines that are not in our current zones
- Learning skills from other members of the team
- In depth assessment for 3 hours v.s. shorter periods within the school setting. 
- Able to see what parents are doing at home and what techniques work well for them 
- Students were supported by someone who knew them well- parents. 
- Parents were able to see how we work as a team and who the therapists are on their team. 
- 

- What do we need to do next: 
- Complete the reports
- Do not edit reports once complete. 
- Continue with MDT Reports for new starters as they enter the school
- 
What do we need to know more about?
- Educational Psychology input 
- Adapting assessments for visually impaired

- New staff --> unaware of general policies/ procedures, and now learning about new procedures
- Understanding new systems
- Time and resource limitations --> difficulties to prepare, writing detailed thorough reports
- Previous reports in three different locations --> becomes very confusing

Opportunities:
- SMARTer goal setting]]> 2020-09-09 15:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/p_terrer/p8pvbfbld6es8by2/wish/731504618 https://padlet.com/p_terrer/p8pvbfbld6es8by2/wish/731525657 Challenges :
the questionnaire was too long
teams have changed post assessment - due to bubbles so parents think they are having one MDT team but now they have changed.
no access to appropriate assessment tools
the admin/background information not updated
Not knowing the child before the assessment.
not having enough time to write the report


What went well:
MDT working together - built good teams
Meeting the parents -
for new pupils it was useful to see them before they started
Now having baseline assessment for all the children is really useful - especially being in a zone with children I haven't met
Being able to discuss short term targets with the parents when we don't have updated EHCP's


Even better if:
Admin section was filled out prior to assessment
Not having seen all the children - only around half were done.
Smaller parent questionnaire - completed before the assessment!!
More time to complete the assessment and especially the report
More organised time table 

What do we need to know more of ????????????
- Specialised/standardised assessments 
- Outcome measures (
- SMART Goal setting 
- Knowledge about UL / LL (ROM, management, 
- Equipment - Adjusting, assessing, 
- Assessment of VI / Adapting the assessment for VI 
-
