Special Education Services

Individualised teaching that meets a child exactly where they are.

Overview

Special education at Seyon is individually planned, multisensory and mastery-based. Every child has an IEP with measurable objectives across literacy, numeracy, communication, independence and social participation.

Treatment process

  1. STEP 1

    Educational assessment

    Curriculum-based measurement of reading, writing and mathematics alongside screening for dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia and an assessment of attention and working memory.

  2. STEP 2

    Individualised Education Plan

    A written IEP with long-term and short-term objectives, teaching methods, accommodations and review dates, shared with parents and school.

  3. STEP 3

    Structured teaching

    Multisensory, error-free teaching using Orton-Gillingham-informed literacy methods, concrete-to-abstract maths and TEACCH-style visual structure.

  4. STEP 4

    Weekly remedial sessions

    45-minute individual sessions, 2–4 times weekly, with visual schedules, task analysis and reinforcement built into every lesson.

  5. STEP 5

    Parent and teacher partnership

    Home learning packs, exam-concession guidance and direct liaison with class teachers so strategies carry over to the classroom.

  6. STEP 6

    Progress monitoring

    Mastery of each IEP objective is tracked and reported quarterly, with the plan revised at every review meeting.
