A training booklet describing many strategies for the most common additional learning needs I have come across in schools and FE colleges, including Autism, behavioural issues, hearing/visual impairments, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, handwriting difficulties and language needs. Each difficulty has at least 15-20 different strategies that I have found most useful in supporting my learners with additional needs. Please note that these are not a one size fits all approach, and what works perfectly for one student may crash and burn for another! Like with most things in teaching, it is a trial and error process. However I have found these to be the most successful strategies for me so far.

A powerpoint containing several strategies for tackling each of the most common writing weaknesses that I have come across eg spelling, constructing paragraphs, loose pronouns and more. For each problem there are suggestions for strategies to tackle it that will benefit the whole class and that can be built into engaging activities.
