DYSLEXIA Special Needs Dyslexia Screener
Dyslexia Guidance
Innovative, computer-based assessment to help identify pupils with dyslexic tendencies
A comprehensive guide that offers advice on supporting pupils with specific learning difficulties in reading and writing
By Martin Turner & Pauline Smith The Dyslexia Screener enables both non-specialist and specialist teachers to evaluate the extent to which dyslexic tendencies may be present, so that they can identify and offer help to individuals. The assessment is ideal for screening an entire year group or those children identified as showing some signs of difficulty that require further investigation. The assessment will help to distinguish between those individuals who are having general difficulties in literacy and those whose difficulties are likely to be associated with dyslexia. There are six tests covering three areas, with two assessments for each: • Ability tests address different aspects of general problem-solving ability • Diagnostic tests sample the information-processing efficiency in two domains - processing of the sounds of words and perceptual speed • Attainment tests are of reading and spelling, particularly word-level processes. Scoring, analysis and reporting, for both individuals and groups, is immediate and recommendations are given about next steps in either further assessment or intervention. Age 5-16

The Dyscalculia Screener has been designed to enable both non-specialist and specialist teachers to evaluate the extent to which dyscalculic tendencies may be present, so that they can identify and offer help to individuals. The assessment is ideal for screening an entire year group or those children identified as showing some signs of difficulty that require further investigation. The assessment will help to distinguish between those individuals with poor maths attainment and those whose difficulties are likely to be associated with dyscalculia. The screener comprises three core tests that are proven to be effective at discriminating between dyscalculics and other pupils. Speed of response to numerical questions is the key measure used in the screener and so a fourth test of simple reaction time is also included and the reaction times on the following three tests are adjusted to take this measure into account: • Simple reaction time • Dot enumeration • Number comparison (also referred to as ‘numerical stroop’) • Arithmetic achievement (addition and multiplication). Scoring, analysis and reporting is immediate and recommendations are given about next steps in either further assessment or intervention. Age 6-14

ASPERGER SYNDROME Special Needs
Being Bullied DVD Strategies and solutions for bullied children with Asperger's Syndrome By Nick Dubin Bullying is a serious problem in schools and children on the autism spectrum are particularly at risk of being victimised if they display ‘different’ behaviour, such as not understanding rules, having bad handwriting or flapping their hands. Being Bullied describes the various types of peer abuse–taunting, calling names, damaging property, stealing and cyber bullying, and the devastating consequences, such as poor self-esteem, low academic achievement, depression or even suicide.

The DVD outlines practical strategies for parents, professionals, schools and individuals being bullied on how to prevent bullying.

By Avril Webster This series of books prepare children for a particular event and teaches them ‘what comes next’ in certain familiar situations. This enables them to get through the experience or situation more easily, and ultimately reduce stress for themselves and those around them. The books offer a range of benefits including: • Helping children learn day-to-day skills • Supporting language development and communication • Building confidence and self-esteem • Providing children with structure and routine • Showing children ‘what comes next’ to prepare them for certain tasks • Improving the quality of life for children and their families • Acting like a ‘ramp’ access tool for children with complex learning needs • Creating awareness about children with disabilities. • These books all have the same look and feel, and use the same multi-ethnic ‘family’ of characters, which promotes familiarity and learning. They are particularly useful for pre-school children, children for whom English is a second language, children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and children with intellectual and learning difficulties, to help them experience new activities and to achieve developmental milestones.
