DLD (Developmental Language Disorder)
Language skills, interaction and comprehension can be difficult for children and young people with DLD. Specialist strategies and ideas are utilised during the 1:1 sessions.
Dyslexia
I aim to improve reading, writing and spelling skills as well as associated needs such as processing and working memory difficulties of children with dyslexia.
Dyspraxia/Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
I aim to improve speech and language, motor skills, sequencing, handwriting and organisation skills and associated needs consistent with dyspraxia.
​
Dyscalculia
Maths can be a challenge for students with SEND. Dyscalculia specialist strategies and ideas are utilised during the 1:1 sessions.
Executive function skills
Cognitive skills such as task initiation, self-regulation, prioritization and focusing can be challenging for individuals with EFS difficulties. I work with pupils to support these areas through engaging activities.
​
Mental Health
I aim to develop a trusting and safe relationship with individuals who require mental health support or help with trauma.
​
Sensory Processing Disorder
I can adapt my teaching to ensure that the environment is suitable for the individual.
​
Speech and Language difficulties
As a speech and language therapist, I have the relevant experience and skills to help children access learning in different ways, e.g. with visual support.
Working memory and processing difficulties
I ensure that children are given opportunities to process
information to help them understand a task. I also ensure
information is broken down into steps to support memory.
