This is what I’ve found with my 7 year old. His diagnosis of autism was confirmed a few weeks into lockdown. He’s been the happiest I’ve ever known him to be without having to go to school. He’s not having meltdowns, no physical aggression, and isn’t chewing his hands/clothes.

Absolutely - many of our ASD students are LOVING being at home and thriving working remotely and sending work in. They are positive in their online communications with staff etc

This is so hard, I have noticed it with a few of my very young pupils rather than the older ones. With our phonics classes, we have cut down how many we were offering, as some parents were overdoing it and the kids were getting overwhelmed.

It’s definitely hard for some at the moment. I haven’t got a panacea but we are finding some improvement when I have a regular 1:1 with a pupil online to check in. Also supporting/being with parents too, who are finding it challenging & not wanting to ‘stand over’ their child.

Different things were at the fore of our attention, before, and we had different demands on our time. Fresh starts will draw on what has been successful in recent weeks.

If it's any help to give you comfort. She now is sitting her GSCE's. Doing better than I thought she would. It's a fight, but one worth taking on. Never stop believing, even when others do.

All of those. Also, the environment is low-arousal compared to a busy classroom. Not much background noise. I take care not to present her with overlapping demands.

Zero resilience that adults other than us can’t cope with as he loses his temper but home is safe and therefore even though he gets cross, it is manageable. He has attachment disorder and ADHD.

Being able to choose the time and the subject makes mine feel more in control and therefore results in “more productivity”

Important to see how schools are looking after SEN students remotely.
WhatWorksSEND (@WorksSend) profile pictureWhatWorksSEND@WorksSend28 Apr 2020
Teachers and parents - how are mainstream schools ensuring that children with SEND (without an EHCP) are being supported with remote learning? Is there a danger that some could be falling through the net?

Differentiated tasks R to y6. Additional packs for identified chn, 1:2 remote sessions with TA, SENCO reg check in with class teachers, parents & chn. If you have Nesssy they are offering free licences during lockdown. DM if I can help

Works best online in short engaging chunks. Maths Factor is working well although he skips most of the tutorial videos (they are repetitive). Can't find anything that works for literacy (which he hates).

Impossible to adapt class work books as all way beyond him. Using maths factor but can't find anything suitably engaging in short online bursts for literacy. BBC iplayer daily lesson but it's not good. He's watching informational youtube videos about disasters (his choice)!

Twice weekly check ins with some, teacher contact & support via Seesaw & I as Senco ensure that any extra support or resources are sent home. Some are personalised to need/interest, some try to replicate provision or intervention children receive at school as much as possible

It's wonderful to see them and communicate, especially spending a quality amount of time talking together. I must admit though, as much as I love it, I'm really starting to struggle trying to juggle everything at the moment. Feeling overwhelmed at times, but trying my best.
