Special Needs.

Dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulty are two of the more common forms of Special Educational Need diagnosis, but for parents of all such children they involve the same basic issues. Chiefly, there is likely to be difficulty with both English (or other home language) and with Maths, showing in sats tests. Difficulty with other subjects may be a bit less important, and may be due to them all needing language skills. If the school is aware of the problem and is giving additional help, then parents of special needs children should chiefly be concerned with the following ;

1. Knowing where is the child at, and what progress they are making.

2. Helping build their learning confidence and motivation.

3. Getting the child their own copies of the English and Maths books they use at school.

Parents of special needs children should do a little daily 'Lets play school' with their child, maybe 5 minutes on Maths and 5 minutes on English, to help with 1 and 2. Their school should of course be doing the main teaching. The easiest thing for the Maths is a maths worksheet a day at a suitable level, and for English something like putting two new words at a suitable level each day or two on your fridge with magnetic letters and - 'you get the cake if you make another word with letters from that word' type of little game daily. With the word DOG you can show that removing the G leaves DO, and with the word CAT show that removing the C leaves AT !! The parent can help them get there if they get stuck, and congratulate them on anything they achieve. This type of daily parent set play-test type game will help confidence and motivation. And if you can find out what English and Maths books they are on at school, getting them their own copies for home can also be helpful. And a suitable dictionary.

For some more advice on helping your younger preschool child see this Preschool Learning article.

Children themselves are generally good judges of what games and puzzles they can handle and like - and some plain fun is good for us all ! They may also enjoy a poem or song, and who knows may even become british poets or songwriters ! Some special needs pupils do go on to do degrees, and many do at least get some GCSEs.
