In this episode of the SEND Network Podcast, India and Kate speak about identifying the needs of children with SEND. 

SENCOs and the wider school need a mindset of curiosity in order to help children get the support they need and thrive in the classroom.   

Kate's key points on identifying what SEND support a child needs includes:

1. Using the assessment tools available   
2. Identifying gaps in a child's learning
3. Working as a community to give a child the best support possible
4. Regularly reviewing and re-evaluating whether support needs to be adapted
