Bridge the Gap

We need to bridge the gaps by understanding our child’s challenges.

We need to look deeply into their ability before we start to define what help they require.

So often I enter a situation where decisions are being made and there is no real understanding of ‘why’ a child is struggling to thrive in education.

It’s like putting a plaster cast on your leg, just in case it’s broken...

This child in the picture may not be able to access the curriculum because he...

Could have a hearing difficulty

Could have a processing disorder

Could not speak the language

Could be unable to concentrate

Could require a sensory break

Could have interaction difficulties

Could have PTSD

Etc etc etc etc

Each one of these requires a different specific provision.

Step one. Identify the challenge/difficulty.

Step two identify what the child needs to achieve or where they need to get to.

Step three identify the support this child needs to bridge the gap.
