Could this programme support my child with learning difficulties or a disability?

Accepted Answer

As the Co-ordinator of a special needs school and a Masters in special education I have designed these boxes with all little learners in mind. They contain a variety of activities, hands-on learning and a multi-sensory approach to support the uniqueness of all learners. Short activities allow learners with a short attention span to complete activities. They expose children to visual learning and the repetition of sounds through the worksheets and activities across the week is aimed to support retention.
