BONUS: Corona - Life at Home - Supporting children with special needs


Listen Later

In this, our second Corona BONUS episode Dale Pickles, Managing Director of B Squared is joined by his guest Jane Friswell. Jane is one of the legends of the SEN World who has seen lots of good practice, but also bad practice. Jane support’s school and authorities to turn things around and provide the right support for students. Moving on from last week’s BONUS episode, this week are looking at what life will look like at home and how families can support their children during this time.

In the last week, we have gone from a few pupils not being in school due to self-isolation to now under 5% of pupils in schools. With us being very close to a lockdown, nearly all families will be adjusting to children being at home instead of school. For parents of children with SEND, there can be lots of challenges.

We are all a bit shell shocked, trying to work out what to do. Schools are providing lots of things to do and there are loads of resources, activities, online PE or dance sessions. There is lots going on to support children, but parents need to decide what is right for their child.

The links mentioned will be added soon.
