Training Session: Ellie Collar, a SEND and development specialist delivering an "Identifying Early Warning Signs of SEND" course on the 18th November at our Training Centre.

Parents and keyworkers often have questions about how to tell when they are concerned for a child; how can they be sure if this is a typical stage of development or if there is a need there that could be supported? A key responsibility in the Code of Practice for Early Years SENDCos is ensuring that their setting identifies when young children may have additional needs, and supporting their keyworkers to carry out quality initial assessments.

How do you best find out about a young child’s development? You go and play with them!
This course looks at fun practical games and play situations that practitioners can create with their children to observe and understand in more depth where their developmental stages might be in:

- underlying play skills
- speech and language skills
- sensory and motor skills
- social and emotional skills

and through play and observation be able to identify next steps to give the right support.

If you enjoyed listening to ‘Room on the Broom’, maybe you can go on a magical adventure of your own? Scurry around the garden or hunt around your house to find treasures to add to your stick.

Can you create your own magical spell?
Which ingredients would you add?
Can you think of words that rhyme?

Maybe you could have a go at making your own story? Gather a selection of items and see if you can create a story from what you find.

We would love to see your creations in the comments below.
