As human beings we are all different and as such, we all have different needs, wants, and aspirations – and the same is true of our students. When we are working with children and young people, we need to remember that one-size-fits-all strategies are rarely effective.
For students – and staff – to thrive, we need to take a personalised approach to support to find the best ways to unlock individuals’ potential. Whether it’s behaviour support, academic progress, or personal development more broadly, meeting individual need is key to success in both the short and long term.
This book is split into 4 chapters, each looking at different ways to meet individual need. It explores:
- Neurodivergence and neurodiversity
- Additional and Special Educational Needs
- Trauma-informed approaches
- Self-care
At the end of each section, you’ll find key reminders, questions and tasks, to prompt self-reflection and further develop your professional practice.
By the end of this book, you will have a better understanding of how to meet individual need and be equipped with a toolkit of practical strategies to try in your own classroom.
