AliceinWonderland Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I know this is in the wrong place but thought there was more chance of people seeing it. We have a child who has Down Syndrome. Our LA has given us a document to use to track her development. It is basically the Development matters statements, but with extra statements added in to break down each point. We are finding that this is not really working for the child and feel that we need something that is more tailored to her disability. We have tried contacting the Downs association but they do not have anything we could use. Would be grateful if anyone could share what they use for children with specific needs. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi, I think this is what you need. It's the NCB's Developmental Journal for babies and children with Down Syndrome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 There used to be a document in a blue folder - can't think what it was called, but you had different ones for different needs. Hopefully someone else on here will know what I'm talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the one :1b Lovely easy to use document, and years ago it came as a hard copy in a blue folder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thank you so much, very helpful Strangely enough it was a parent of a child with Down Syndrome that first introduced me the whole set of documents. The parent loved the document too - she like the way the statements where broken down in statements that actually meant something to her daughter. I think at that time it was called something like a 'Family File' which could be shared with all agencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I had the full set of these on the shelf at my Preschool. I didn't get chance to use them as they were designed for. One of our LA advisors got them in the end I think. They were really useful for reference, especially with students first learning the EYFS statements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceinWonderland Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thank you, looks very useful and much more in line with how the child is developing unlike the ones we were given by our advisor. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
