PERSONALISATION
What is personalisation?
The key features or components of personalisation are described as high quality teaching and learning, target setting and tracking, focused assessment, intervention, pupil grouping, the learning environment, curriculum organisation, the extended curriculum, and supporting children’s wider needs.
The principle behind personalisation is that every child is different, more so, children with SEN. therefore recognizing that they are different and designing the general curriculum to fit each child learning styles, and when they best learn, helping them to achieve their highest potential and standards possible is personalization. The curriculum and targets are built around a child as an individual not a group.

It allows people enough time to respond to stimuli, even if they need a little longer than others.
If respect is shown to people with SEN it makes them comfortable and loved. Respect helps them build better relationships with their tutors and instructors and respond better to learning and the world at large.
Self-determination:
Self-determination is based on the principle that every child or individual has the right to direct their learning. It helps children to build the skills of making choices, problem solving and independent decisions making. This builds the foundation for their adult life.
Some benefits of self-determination for people with SEN:
• When children show that they can make things happen and take responsibility for them it helps others change their view of them.
• When they make decisions themselves it, rather than having others make choices for them helps build their self-esteem, self-worth and

• They become more acceptable to the school or community because this ones becomes use to them,
• person-cantered planning means that the learner becomes an active participant in their own plans for their own future Fostering relationships
Fostering relation is important to any child more so children with SEN. it is when a personal social relationship is built with any child.
I have seen first-hand the benefits of this, and how effective it can prove to be. It makes the children happy, and gain more sell esteem. Their parents feel even better because they perceive that their children are starting to get a bit of love, and feel a sense of belonging among their pairs, tutors, coaches etc.
The duty of the parents, teachers, tutors, facilitators etc., is to teach children how to make friends and keep them. Teachers teach them how to play with other children not just adults and other teachers.
Importance of fostering relationship to people/children with SEN:
• It reduces the child’s isolation and improves their social skills
• It boost their social competence, self-esteem and confidence
• Helps them explore more because they hitch hike with people they
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in 1997 and 2004. It is designed to protect the rights of students with disabilities by ensuring that everyone receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE), regardless of ability. Furthermore, IDEA strives not only to grant equal access to students with disabilities, but also to provide additional special education services and procedural safeguards. Special education services are individualized to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities and are provided in the least restrictive environment. Special education may include individual or small group instruction, curriculum or teaching modifications, assistive technology,
Competency Standard III To support social and emotional development and to provide positive guidance Functional Area 8: Self I provide an emotionally and physically safe and secure environment where the children can thrive and develop their sense of self. I greet each child by name, smiling and giving them one-on-one attention. I show the children that I respect them by acknowledging their feeling and helping them express those feelings appropriately. We follow a routine, and I discuss and explain when there will be a change or disruption to that schedule.
This is where the child should learn to have respect for themselves and others, develop the skills socially meaning to interact with the other children and learn their different emotions and how to deal with this which is the emotional part. A child will learn to develop their own personality and opinions but this also needs to be monitored to ensure there is no bullying towards the other children, also parents have major roles in teaching their children. Some parents however, can be over-protective and can delay the child’s development and learning but on an alternative, parents can also see no wrong with their child which can lead to too much confidence and higher risk of behaviour problems. Culture play roles in learning as some cultures do not allow certain things to be taught due to there religion e.g. food tasting and preparation.
Explain the reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected pattern: The reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected patters is due to them maybe having a disability, emotional influences, physical influences, environmental influences, cultural influences, social influences, learning needs and communication skills. Children with disabilities require a lot more support than those without a disability in order to help them develop their skills and become more independent. Disabilities can affect more than one area of a child’s development depending on what disability they have and what support is available in order to help improve the child’s needs etc. Emotionally children are affected due to them maybe having signs of depression where they are quiet than the rest of the children and they shy away from joining in with different activities and getting involved with other children.
1.2 What are the typical impacts of these on children and young people? Majority of the disable people may lead to experience the adulthood transition differently towards the non-disabled peers. It is true that with possible restriction imposed on their routine schedule; especially the ones that are disabled in childhood might be more insulated from peer effects and less towards getting engage in risky actions (Kirk, 2008).
Also, play helps children to develop their physical, mental, social and emotionally. If children and young people have access to good play provision then it many benefits for them, these may be: • It will help to increase the children and young people’s awareness, self-esteem and self-respect. • It will give them opportunity to mix with other children whatever their background or ability are. •
Part C - Disability affects development and learning because disability affects children's development in different ways. That can be physically and sensory, social, emotional and behavioural and learning or cognitive. So say a child with Hearing impairment affects language and communication in that they may struggle to understand words in a book and get stressed at trying to read aloud.
3.3 Explain ways in which children with additional needs can participate fully in play and learning activities Children who have additional needs or disabilities may fully participate in play and learning activities. This is done by ensuring they have an adapted environment and well thought activity which means they can participate just as well as others. To plan an activity which ensures they can participate you need to have a good understand of what the child with additional needs or a disability is able to do and carry out. 4.1 Explain how to plan a play based approach to learning for early years children You can plan for a play based approach to learning by looking at the various children and where they are at with their development.
Thesis statement “Inclusion Helps Special Needs Students by Allowing Them to Develop Interactional Skills Because of the Exposure to a Social Environment.” Inclusion in education is an approach to educate students with special needs in regular classrooms, rejecting the need of special schools. The aim of this paper will be to demonstrate that inclusion of special needs students in regular classrooms helps them not only by developing interactional skills but also by allowing them to grow in a more desirable way in school. However, inclusion is not completely beneficial. One must consider that special needs is an umbrella of several necessities that demand different approaches.
The transition from primary to post-primary education is one of the most drastic of those changes, and schools need to be equipped to accommodate that transition. For special educational needs, many steps need to be taken in order to familiarize both parties with the conditions they live with and how success can be met. In order for students to feel comfortable and make the transition as smooth as possible, there are many things that schools can do to ensure this success. In order for special education pupils to succeed, schools need to create inclusion in the classrooms and with peers, so that SEN pupils can interact with other students and experience real world classroom time. For students with disabilities, schools need to take some necessary steps in order for a beneficial transition to take place.
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
Inclusion is vital in helping to provide quality education for SEN pupils. “above all, inclusion is about a philosophy of acceptance where all pupils are valued and treated with respect” (Carrington & Elkins, 2002). Inclusion is often thought to be the location of your education but is more often than not about the quality of one’s education. The location has little to do with inclusion but more to do with where you feel you belong, some SEN children feel they cannot truly belong in a large mainstream school (Campbell, 2005). Sociological perspectives of inclusion often emphasis equality, respect, participation in decision making, rights, and collective belonging.
In regular education classrooms the majority of the time students receive whole-group instructions. Their methods of instructions consist in lectures, discussions, case studies, writing, group projects, public reviews, and independent student projects. In contrast, different instructional techniques are used for some students with special educational needs. Instructional strategies are classified as being either accommodations or modifications. An accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to teaching practices so that the student learns the same material, but in a format that is more accessible to the student.
Also in some case, educational integration in some schools stimulates the disabled child to recover because teachers treat him like a non-disabled
(United Nations, 2006) INCLUSIVE EDUCATION Much of the research into supporting children with SEN in Europe centers on the concept of inclusive education – defined by Booth (2000) as ‘the process of increasing participation and decreasing exclusion from the culture, curriculum and community of mainstream schools. SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS These fall into following four areas. 1.
