Cognition & Learning
Cognition refers to the thinking skills and thought processes that a child has developed through their prior experiences. Learning difficulties can be general or specific and may relate to one or more areas of the curriculum.
Examples of cognition and learning needs/difficulties outlined in the SEN Code of Practice include:
- Specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia.
- Moderate learning difficulties.
- Severe learning difficulties.
- Profound and multiple learning difficulties.
At St. Michael's Easthampstead, we support children in their learning journey, helping them reach their full potential. To achieve this, we differentiate work within the classroom, offer targeted interventions, and closely monitor progress to identify their next steps.
