SEND Approach to Learning

A young person's capacity to study can be affected by special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Their needs may have an effect on their education, behaviour or social skills, examples include:

• behaviour or social skills, such as difficulty building positive relationships

• battling to succeed due to a deficit in comprehension or cognitive ability

• low concentration levels or work being presented in an un-engaging manor

• inability due to bodily limitations

• un-tailored content or presentation

• teacher/instructor moving ahead before every student has a firm grasp of the topic

If you think your child may have special educational needs, contact the SEND coordinator, or ‘SENCO’ in your child’s school or nursery. 

Inclusive working styles

In order to address any additional needs that might limit a child's ability to achieve their maximum educational potential, I will arrange a video/telephone consultation with parents/carers beforehand to find out more information on these additional needs. Lesson delivery can be structured to include learning styles which make the pupil more comfortable or the lesson more accessible. 

Adaptability

The first time we meet, I'll get to know the student and learn about their learning preferences as well as their likes and dislikes. This information can be applied to the lessons, to ensure that learning can take place in a fun and engaging way.

Lessons that take place online are adaptable, meaning that the student can feel relaxed within their own home surrounded by comforts or resources that they may find helpful when learning.

Personalised Learning

After successful initial consultations, I will be able to tell what kind of learner the student is. With this learning method in mind, I will tailor my lessons to each individual, making sure they find the lessons easy to understand and can follow them in a way and at a pace that suits them and their needs.

Special Educational Needs

ASD

Developmental impairment known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is brought on by variations in the brain.

People with ASD frequently struggle with restricted or repetitive behaviours or hobbies, as well as social communication and interactional difficulties.

Additionally, people with ASD may learn, move, or give attention in different ways.

HBarker Tutoring Lessons can be adapted to suit students who have ASD.

Together we can work out a plan so that Autism is not seen as a barrier to learning for your child but as an altered way of learning, all learning can be tailored to suit the individual.

ADHD and ADD

ADHD and ASD are connected in a number of ways. Despite not being on the autistic spectrum, ADHD shares some symptoms with autism. Additionally, the likelihood of having one of these disorders rises if you have the other.

The condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has an impact on how individuals behave. People with ADHD may appear agitated, struggle to focus, and act impulsively.

However, symptoms of inattention, distractibility and impaired working memory are often referred to as ADD symptoms.

Both fall under the umbrella of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medical diagnosis.

Students who have trouble focusing can benefit from shorter classes and more breaks. People who struggle to focus for extended amounts of time can still access learning that is appropriate for them and their needs by receiving quick key recaps and knowledge-boosting sessions laid out appropriately.

Lessons can be broken up into learning segments of 5–10 minutes each, followed by a 5 - 10 minutes break. This cycle can continue for the duration of the lesson.

Dyslexia and Dyscalculia

Dyslexia is a widespread cognitive disability that primarily affects reading, writing, and spelling.

Given that it is a particular learning disability, it affects specific learning skills, like reading and writing.
Intelligence is unaffected, unlike a learning impairment.

Up to one in ten individuals in the UK are thought to have dyslexia.

Although dyslexia is a chronic condition that can cause difficulties on a daily basis, there is support available to help those who struggle with it develop their reading and writing abilities and succeed in both education and the workplace.

Like dyslexia, developmental dyscalculia belongs to a family of distinct cognitive disabilities.

Learning disorders (or challenges) frequently co-occur with one or more other conditions, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, or ADHD/ADD, and it appears that this is more common than not.

Although this might be due to shared traits like working memory, research is still being done to determine the probable interactions between each person's cognitive, biological, and environmental variables.

HBarker Tutoring takes pride in working with students who struggle with dyslexia and dyspraxia; we can concentrate on all aspects of your chosen subject and offer crucial skills to help a student when they are having difficulty with a particular assignment.

Obstacles presented can be removed or surmounted.

Global Development Delay

The phrase "Developmental delay" or "Global Development delay" is used when a child takes longer than other children his or her age to achieve particular developmental milestones.

Learning to move, speak, learn new skills, and interact socially and emotionally with others are some examples of this.

Global Development Delay does not have to be seen as a barrier to learning, as there are so many alternative ways of working which can enhance opportunities to develop in all areas, cognitively, socially and emotionally.

HBarker Tutoring will offer support to those with Global Development delays and offer a personalised plan to help promote learning so that the student can reach their fullest potential.
