Teaching style
Learning through play.
Using Colourful Speech to make Grammar and Sentence Structure accessible.
Developing bespoke resources and Social Stories for SEN children, often while awaiting or preparing for Speech and Language or relevant support..
In Computing I think it is important to encourage the children to look for familiar aspects and then explore the unfamiliar. It is our responsibility to provide them with the knowledge and understanding to keep themselves safe. However, Technology should be fun and exciting and we need to help them discover whet resources we have as well as what may be possible in the future.
It is an area where they can share their Technology with peers and explain how they use it.
