     • IEP writing

     • differentiation for learning outcomes

     • building up differentiated resources

     • general strategies for learning and cognition

     • interpreting statements - from statements to learning

     • advice for teaching assistants supporting pupils with learning difficulties

     • support for teachers

     • working with parents

     • using symbols

     • using Makaton in the classroom

Staff from all Islington schools are also invited to visit Samuel Rhodes School (by appointment) to see examples of good practice and teaching approaches for including pupils with learning and cognition difficulties.
