The authors of this book have extensive experience in the world of SEN and together they have produced a publication that will advise many practitioners with practical strategies and approaches to support the motor and coordination development of children in educational settings. Sue Soan is currently a university lecturer, with a wide ranging background in educational settings as a SENCO and senior leader. Her co-author, Eve Hutton, comes from an occupational therapist background, where she is a recognised expert in her field at post doctoral level. This spiral bound publication has been designed to provide educators with practical strategies and approaches to support the motor and coordination development of children in an educational setting. It is based on the work undertaken by the authors over several years that combines perspectives of occupational therapy and special educational needs and developing resources for teachers to use in daily practice.

Chapter include:

  • Physical skills, movement and learning
  • Personal independence skills for learning and participation
  • Confident handwriting

The authors provide many practical strategies with ‘Try this’ activities that many teachers will find useful. This is a very practical resource that also includes many reflective activities that challenge how we expect children to learn. The authors provide guidance to specific activities as well as guidance on policies and detailed referencing.
