The Experienced SENCo's Guide to Educational Testing
One of the most challenging aspects of the SENCo role is trying to work out exactly where a students difficulties lie.
Teacher referrals often come with comments such as ‘I think he may be dyslexic’ ‘I don’t know what’s wrong but she won’t sit still!’.
These non-specific comments can make it hard to know where to start when it comes to pinpointing what help a student needs.
This Guide takes you through what educational testing can be done in school for a wide range of Neurodiversity’s, what the results tell you, and what the next steps in seeking a diagnosis would be.
It contains many of the resources needed to complete the testing, gather background information, and what questions you need to ask if you suspect a student is Neurodiverse.
The Experienced SENCo's guide to Form 8's
Filling in Form 8’s can be time consuming and bewildering to an inexperienced SENCo.
Most schools use LUCID Exact to screen for Access Arrangements, but what do you do next? What tests do you use to gather evidence? How do you show evidence of need?
This guide has a flowchart to take you through the most common tests that Secondary schools use to gather evidence of eligibility for extra time, and an exemplar Form 8 to show the type of evidence that needs to be added to Part 1 to show evidence of need
