EYFS: Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a crucial period of a child's life, lasting from birth to five years old. During this stage, children's development in all areas - physical, cognitive, emotional and social - is at its peak. As a result, it is crucial for educators and parents to provide children with a supportive and stimulating environment to enhance their learning and development.

Meet Emily, a three-year-old girl with a speech and language delay. Emily's parents were worried about her development and were unsure of how to help her. They turned to her EYFS teacher, who was trained in supporting children with special educational needs (SEN). The teacher provided Emily with extra support and worked closely with her parents to develop strategies to enhance her communication skills. With time and consistent support, Emily made significant progress, and her parents were delighted with her improvement.

In today's age, with a growing awareness and recognition of children's individual needs, the demand for EYFS teachers with expertise in supporting children with SEN is increasing. This course provides educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to support children's learning and development, regardless of their individual needs.
