The term Special Educational Needs includes a broad range learning needs. The SEND Code of Practice states these pupils may need extra help, nurture and support because of a range of additional needs which may include:
-
- communication and interaction
-
- cognition and learning
-
- social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH)
-
- sensory and/or physical needs
All education settings have a duty to be accessible and inclusive for the children within their community. It is our mission to support parents in providing the best possible education for our children.
Brackley STEAM Park provides for pupils ages 4-11 with a broad range of special educational needs including those with:
-
- Communication and interaction needs; this includes children who have speech and language and communication difficulties including autistic spectrum conditions (ASD)
-
- Cognition and language needs; this includes children who have learning difficulties and specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.
-
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH)
-
- Sensory and/or Physical needs; this includes children who have visual or hearing needs, or a physical disability that affects their learning.
There are various tools and resources with construction kits and sensory puzzles for multisensory needs to aid processing, motor skills, spatial reasoning and problem-solving with sensory activities for children who are neurodiverse with traits of autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. We help and nurture areas of autistic children with social complexities and comprehensive interests of diverse ways of thinking, learning, processing, and behaving. There are several computing and off-screen instruments to aid complexities with learning structures and calm learning setting.
