• Routine Management: Help the child learn and follow daily routines in the classroom, using visual schedules, cues, and other supportive techniques to reinforce consistency and structure.
• Behavioural Support: Implement strategies to support the child’s behaviour, using positive reinforcement and de-escalation techniques in line with the school’s behaviour management policy.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and other support staff to ensure the child’s learning plan is followed and regularly reviewed.
• Progress Monitoring: Observe and record the child’s progress in various areas, including communication, social skills, and sensory regulation, and report this information to the class teacher and SENCO.
• Classroom Assistance: Provide general support to the teacher and other students, ensuring the child is included in group activities where possible, and fostering an inclusive classroom environment.
• Training and Development: Participate in ongoing professional development opportunities to increase understanding of SEN (Special Educational Needs), particularly in supporting children with non-verbal communication and sensory needs.
