Cognition & Learning Difficulties
Students with learning difficulties have academic attainments which are significantly below those of their peers due to a slower rate of learning. They will have difficulty acquiring and applying basic literacy, numeracy and language skills.
Children may have difficulties with:
Spelling and Reading
Writing and Number
Working memory
Learning and processing new information
They may also find it difficult to concentrate for longer periods of time
They may have ‘Specific Learning Difficulty’ such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia
Children may have diagnoses such as Down’s Syndrome or Global developmental delay.
In liaison with class teachers and parents, the SENCo will support staff to provide the most appropriate level of support.
