Curriculum and learning
What is ‘access to the curriculum and learning’?
What is ‘access to the curriculum and learning’?
Certain skills are essential to ensure a child is ready to learn. Foundational skills include gross and fine motor skills, hand skills, hand-eye coordination, play, memory and the ability to manage wellbeing. Establishing these foundations before a child reaches school-age can impact their whole lives.
‘Curriculum access’ relates to the extent to which your child is able to take part in school activities alongside children the same age, at a level appropriate to their needs.
What your child might experience
Your child learns in their own way and at their own pace – after all, learning is a complex activity. We learn best when we enjoy ourselves. For some children with neurodisabilities, learning is a challenge.
Your child may feel frustrated that they cannot master a subject, despite trying hard. They may act out, feel anxious or withdraw. Your child might have a low attention span, which makes it hard to follow instructions and stay organised.
Some children lack coordination, which means moving around is a challenge and activities like writing, cutting and drawing are difficult.
