Episode 5 | Understanding Specific Learning Difficulties with Arran Smith


Listen Later

Mark Loveday is joined by Arran Smith to discuss specific learning challenges (SPLDs) and the associated diagnostic labels, focussing on how to better support pupils. 


In this episode, Arran explains how multi-sensory structured teaching supports processing information and aiding learning, as well as the importance of early diagnosis. 


Practitioners can learn more about whole-brain learning and not just focussing about book work, but a broader learning delivery to support all pupils. Arran and Mark also talk about the Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR) cycle, as well as the importance of connecting broader ideas together to help deliver quality education in the classroom.
