Teaching Learning and Communication

• Children are given time to process information before being asked to respond. 

• Tasks are broken down into small manageable steps. These steps are shown explicitly.

• The pace and order of activities is relevant to maintain interest and attention of all child’s. Key information and strategies are shared with all relevant members of staff e.g. Student Passport.
