IWEPS’ SPECIALIST SUPPORT ADVISOR

IWEPS’ Specialist Support Advisor provides excellent follow up to Educational Psychology assessment, with support to teaching and support staff in putting recommendations into action within the classroom and across the curriculum through a direct ‘hands on’ modelling and guiding approach as well as through more formal training sessions. Some of IWEPS SSA’s most popular training sessions are:


DEVELOPING PROVISION FOR PUPILS WITH GENERAL LEARNING NEEDS


PROVISION FOR PUPILS WITH SPECIFIC LEARNING NEEDS DUE TO PRIMARY AND CO-EXISTING DIAGNOSES OR DIFFICULTIES INCLUDING:


  • AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER   (FORMALLY DIAGNOSED AND BELOW/PRE DIAGNOSIS)
  • ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER   (ADHD – PRIMARILY ATTENTION; PRIMARILY HYPERACTIVEV & CO-EXISTING)
  • NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DIFFICULTIES
  • SINGLE DIAGNOSIS & CO-EXISTING
  • DYSLEXIA     DYSPRAXIA     DYSCALCULIA     WORKING MEMORY

(SEPARATE TRAINING SESSIONS FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE AS WELL AS COMBINED ACCORDING TO REQUIREMENTS)


RESTORATIVE, SOCIAL, REMEDIAL, ACCELERATIVE & JUST PLAIN FUN GROUPS FOR PUPILS NEEDING THAT LITTLE EXTRA INPUT

Staff, teaching assistant and playground supervisors can be trained in setting up and running or continuing to run pupil groups either from the outset or following establishment of the group by IWEPS’ SSA. The groups can also be set up and run entirely by IWEPS. Groups can be set up in school time or as an ‘After School Club’; usually running for 30-45 minutes each day for a week or once weekly over 4-6 weeks. (“Memory Whizz, designed to build Working Memory Skills provides greater benefits on a daily rather than weekly basis and can be provided in that way, either directly by IWEPS or through training and oversight from IWEPS; a weekly session ‘club’ type approach can be provided also which includes setting of regular daily practise sessions to beat ‘personal bests’ in between sessions.)

Pre and post measures of the focus behaviour/skill can be taken for comparison to measure effectiveness. Staff are welcome to join groups run by IWEPS order to gain skills and confidence in running future groups independently.

PARENTING AND BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT SUPPORT GROUPS

“Positive Parenting” and “Make My Child Behave: Stressed Parents’ Support Group” can be set up and run by IWEPS SSA or a combination of SSA and Consultant Psychologist. This type of group is beneficial for every parent who always feels they would like to be a better parent, including parents of some of the most difficult to manage (at the outset) children and young people. Groups are appropriate for parents of children both with and without special educational needs or specific behavioural problems. Family Caring Trust ‘not for profit’ excellently designed materials and ethos form the basis of these groups which are research backed and vouched for by thousands of happy parents. These groups can often form the foundations for ongoing excellent parent relationship and support networks around schools and provide much needed inclusion and support for vulnerable families.
