Additional statements for children with SEND

[Helen]

We're often asked if Tapestry can include some extra statements in the age-bands which would be useful when assessing children with SEND. We've had some very helpful input from a couple of special schools and we're beginning to create an 'EYFS + SEND' option within Tapestry. If you're interested in contributing too, do let me know if there are any statements you'd like us to include in the different 'stages' (we've removed the age-bands and called them stages instead).

Here is the first one for PSED. The first statements are from the Development Matters document, followed by additional ones where it was deemed appropriate. What do you think?

I really like this idea. I would be very interested in reading more examples. Happy to comment back too.

Hi,

Many thanks for that. I've attached the whole thing as it stands at the moment. I've passed it onto a couple of schools and a local teacher for their comments. All suggestions gratefully received!

I like this idea very much, it's a lot better to break the statements down into smaller stages. Would it be possible to extend this to the next steps too?

[Helen]

We're hoping that the next steps system will be much more flexible in the future, so, yes!

Here is the current version of our EYFS + SEND statements. We'd be really grateful for any feedback :1bEYFS + SEND Version 2.docx
