SEND SPECIAL INSIDE THIS SECTION 42 Permission to dream big Allow yourself to take a journey from your classroom, and plan for your pupils’ very own ‘Mambo No. 5’ moment 46 Out of reach? The idea that metacognition is beyond our SEN pupils is absolute rubbish 49 Is this orange, or is this orange? Teachers need to rethink colour in the classroom to ensure accessibility for all 52 “Could you just...?” Time is at a premium for a busy SENDCo, but there are ways to make the most of the hours at your disposal Personalised SEND support SNAP is a group of online, diagnostic profilers that focus on specific learning difficulties (SpLD), behavioural needs (SEMH), and maths learning difficulties. With three options (SNAP-SpLD, SNAP-B, and SNAP Maths), SNAP generates personalised reports for SENCos, learning resources and strategies, and further supporting materials. SNAP’s triangulated approach involves parents/carers in their pupil’s support with a parent questionnaire and personalised reports. It also covers the biggest range of specific learning difficulties (20) and behavioural needs (17), including maths-specific learning difficulties. The Core Profile makes identifying areas of need quick and easy. Se e snap.rsassessment.com f or more. T EACH PR I MARY S END SPEC I A L I N AS SOC I A T I ON W I TH www.teachwire.net | 41
