[senco-forum] Developing listening skills in secondarypupils-Eddie's CD

But you  are not working on a single modality here as when we play this the
kids are  using all sorts of other cues to help

It IS working ON one modality, listening, the one that needs  the help, but 
again you are incorporating other modalities. Again I was assuming  that this 
exercise would be done one to one, which now it appears it was  unrealistic to 
assume! Group sessions like this for pupils with APD would be  horrendously 
difficult.

"In our county there are NO one to one teaching provisions - they are  always
'in a group of 4' within which we then teach each pupil individually  however
as a school we offer more than any statement provides as during year  7 all
withdrawn pupils have an hour every day whereas statements provide for  1/2
hour daily which in secondary equates to 5 hour sessions in a fortnight,  we
also where the pupils are mainstream as opposed to small class ( 2 of  these
small classes based on weak reading) try as far as possible to put them  in
with older pupils who need less active intervention as they have been  taught
to be in control of their own learning so that here again the younger  pupils
get 'more than their due'"

Perhaps Brendan can advise us of the legality of this...  

Best wishes,
