“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about “ 💓Angela Schwindt #senresourcesblog #sendblog #send #eyfs #quotes #quoteoftheday #parentingquotes #parentingadvice #parentingtips

Supporting, caring for and teaching children with Special Educational Needs is something I’m incredibly passionate about. I believe the key to doing this well involves listening to and taking advice from parents (they are often the experts of their own children) as well as any other professionals involved in their care. Through good communication, you can ensure any necessary adaptations are made to the setting and that meaningful, fun learning activities can be enjoyed! I’m a mum of two and a qualified teacher/SENCO and I set up this site ‘The SEN Resources Blog’ www.senresourcesblog.com for parents and teachers of children with Special Educational Needs – to share my advice, ideas of activities and recommendations of resources. Parents of children with special educational needs are often keen to work on when developing their child’s Fine Motor and Gross Motor Skills in particular. This is often because these two skills are fundamental for children gaining some independence (dressing themselves, sitting at a table to eat dinner etc). So here are just a selection of activities to help with some key skills (Fine Motor and Gross Motor) that you as a practitioner may be advised to help develop. https://senresourcesblog.com/2019/03/10/what-are-fine-motor-and-gross-motor-activities-why-are-they-important/ #senresourcesblog #sendblog #pbloggeruk #pblogger #specialeducationalneeds #autism #eyfs #finemotorskills #grossmotorskills #eyfsinspiration
