Advantages of the course

• 2 to 3 years is a very important time in a child’s life. It’s a time of rapid learning and development, and also a time when signs and symptoms of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) may become clearer. The progress check can help to identify any emerging needs or areas where a child isn’t developing as expected. This course explains the different developmental areas and 'norms' you need to observe and assess against, and the importance of inviting parents and carers to share their observations and insights.
• The progress check at age 2 should be seen as an opportunity to build partnerships with the child's family, and other practitioners at the setting. Many families will want to be involved and keen to contribute, but others may be harder to reach. The presentation section of this course considers the reasons why some families are hard to reach and reluctant to be involved, and suggests strategies to remove / reduce barriers to engagement.
• Websites, reading, and video resources are utilised to further explore the progress check at age 2
• There are activity and further reading sections that encourage you to do your own research into the topic and gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge
