[senco-forum] I.E.Ps

Perhaps you could suggest that she work on her ability to describe a picture
- for your daughter to be able to say who is in the story picture/sequence,
what is happening and perhaps even what might happen next? Certainly these
skills would precede the ability to infer how one of the characters might be
feeling, so she would need to be able to do these things if she can't
already.

I hope that makes sense?

I wonder if anyone can help me with my daughter's I.E.P. She has an ASD and
a language and communication problem. I understand about I.E.Ps being SMART
and that targets should be achievable. Here are the targets 
Reading   To infer a character's feelings in fiction through their speech
and actions. I think this is something to aim for obviously but for my
daughter understanding other people's speech and actions is a bit tricky! To
me this is the sort of target she will probably be working on for the whole
of her school career. There is nothing to say when this target might be
achieved. How would you break it down into something that can be achieved. 

Writing  To describe Character's feelings and reactions when writing a
story, to develop confidence to use more imaginative ideas in writing, to
consistently write in the past tense. Again I can understand why these are
targets to aim for but they seem vast to me. (in fact these have been her
targets for nearly 18 months now) 
The SENCO I know will ask me if I have any ideas if I 'do not like' the
targets, and because I cannot think how to make these smaller, more
manageable and achievable they will stay on. Any thoughts or ideas much
appreciated
