Parental SEND Information

Supporting parents and carers of young people with SEND is paramount to what we do at The Rudheath Senior Academy. Whilst we do our best to help and support your child when they are at school, we understand that this help and support is often needed outside the school day. We have put together some information to help you find support, help and advice around your child’s SEN. Please find below, various websites and booklets which may be of use.

• Autism Education Trust Sensory Assessment Checklist

• A technology guide to creating a dyslexia friendly classroom

• Aspergers Syndrome – Teenagers

• Android apps for learners with dyslexia

• Android apps for complex communication support needs

• Addressing reading difficulties

• A complete beginners guide to the iPad

• Using windows 10 accessibility tools to support learners with visual difficulties

• Making Sense of Your Sensory Behaviour

• IT to support learners with dyslexia
