Strategies to support children and young people with difficulties in acquiring and applying knowledge and skills.
“Where a pupil is identified as having SEN, schools should take action to remove barriers to learning and put effective special educational provision in place.”
Targeted provision is additional and personalised support for pupils whose needs are not fully met through universal strategies alone. This may involve tailored teaching approaches, adapted resources in class, in specific areas such as communication, literacy, or emotional regulation or accessing small group evidence informed interventions.
This section provides tailored approaches and strategies that practitioners can use to meet the individual needs of children and young people with SEND. These are organised according to the four broad areas of need outlined in the 2015 SEND Code of Practice:
Cognition and learning
Communication and Interaction
Approaches for supporting those with speech, language, and social communication needs.
Social, emotional and mental health
Guidance for addressing emotional wellbeing, behaviour, and mental health challenges.
Sensory and/or Physical
Support for children and young people with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, or medical conditions.
