- To support and develop Ds?s motivation, attention and approach to learning so he can access more of the curriculum and develop more skills.
a) The class teacher will ensure DS is provided with highly differentiated and structured curriculum, with a high level of visual cues to aid his learning and understanding. Subjects or activities that DS lacks a natural interest in will be adapted to incorporate his personal interests. This will be implemented across the curriculum as part of class routines.
b) The class teacher will provide DS with consistent routines and boundaries as part of a structured school day, depicted visually, eg. Using a visual timetable. An adult will prepare DS for any changes to the planned routine or activity.
c) The teaching staff will set clear attainable targets for DS with appropriate rewards for their completion, to foster his motivation and independent learning skills. The rewards will be meaningful to him and may be in the format of a chosen activity after an adult led task.
d) All adults working with DS will refer back to the ?Now and Next? board if he becomes upset and use minimal language while supporting DS to calm down, before resuming the planned activity.
e) The class teacher will consider creating a photograph/object schedule of DS carrying out the morning routine(eg bag, coat, books) to develop his independence and reduce the need for verbal prompts.
f) The class teacher/SENCO will continue to liaise with the Communication Disorders Team as required.
