Recognising and supporting children with SEN

Children with special educational needs have the right to education alongside others and also not to be at a disadvantage due to their needs when accessing services. With appropriate support and a planned provision, children with SEN can thrive and achieve their full potential. This CACHE endorsed program revolves around the topic of special educational needs (SEN) in a childcare atmosphere. Acquaint yourself with knowledge regarding Down’s Syndrome, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, and Asperger’s Syndrome, along with the key legislation governing practice in this field. Explore the role of the setting SENCO and how practitioners can understand, support, and provide for individual SEN children.
