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

Eddie,

You also said:

"Contrary to what you write, the target group for this approach do indeed  
have learning difficulties- " then you add...

"But No - they don't have Hydrocephalus, Downes Syndrome - or 
APD or  Aspergers or Full Spectrum Autism  - they are neither deaf nor dumb  
etc. etc etc but I did say that the approach was developed with mainstream  
secondary school children with reading ages of about 9.5 whose reading was  
beginning to improve but their general literacy skills, including listening  
skills, were still fairy abysmal. I made no claims about its effectiveness  
with any other groups."

1. How do you know they don't have APD? There may be many children in  
mainstream who have APD as the cause of their listening difficulties. But that  is 
irrelevant to you? How can you help a child if you don't know what is causing  
it?

2. So are your target children those that have none of these  conditions? 

3. Is the progam aimed at children with diagnosed or undiagnosed learning  
difficulties or not or is it just not suitable for the ones you named? 

Your post contradicts itself.

Best wishes,
Aly
