Disability and SEND

By Litsa Downes

What we will be doing today...

​Understanding SEND and disablity
KSB's covered

K14 - Understand the different needs and priorities of my clients (such as teenagers, families, the disabled or older adults) and the best way to manage their expectations, recognising and knowing how to adapt my style to be highly effective. 
S1 - Plan and adapt sessions and activities that respond to client feedback and encourage clients to develop a lifelong activity habit 
S10 - Support organisations to evaluate, develop and promote sessions and other opportunities such as outdoor group exercise and informal social play. 
B7 - How to build meaningful and appropriate relationships 
B8 - A willingness to learn and a desire to contribute to my own continuing professional development. 

"A child or young person has special educational needs and disabilities if they have a learning difficulty and/or a disability that means they need special health and education support, we shorten this to SEND"

You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.

Poll

How confident are you working with children/young people who have SEND?

• Really confident - I know beforehand who is coming to the session and I can adapt the activities to suit

• Kinda confident - I am more confident with some areas but need to build my understanding more

• Not really confident - it can be difficult to manage in a group. I need to ask for help from more experienced coaches to build my skills

• Not confidence at all - It stresses me out trying to adapt for a child with SEND
