Guest Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi I work in a Special School for children with complex special needs, many in EYFS working below the two year old level. we use the developmental matters to assist planning but find they are too broad and don't meet the needs of our wonderful children. as an EYFS team we are thinking of trying to break them down into much smaller steps. Just wondered if anyone had tackled this already, as we don't want to re invent the wheel, or wonder what others are doing in a similar situation. any help gratefully received. Thank You very much xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Bev, Have you come across the developmental journals produced by the National Children's Bureau (NCB)? They are excellent, and break down the dev matters statements into much smaller steps. There is a general journal, and specific ones for blind or deaf children, and for children with Down Syndrome. All free to download from here :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlettangel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 There is something that breaks down the 3 prime areas but I can't for the life of me think what it's called right now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks everyone, I will look at the NCB ones. We just use Dev Matters in EYFS but look at some early P Scale statements Xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
