Reflections on Observation Task 2: Identifying Children with Special Educational

Needs (SEN)
Read the questions below and write your answers
1. What is the school policy for inclusion for SEN students in the school?
Avalon school policy, is gives each student private time for listening, speaking, reading
and writing to enhance diction, pronunciation, and clarity of speech and comprehension. A
varied co-curricular platter: This includes Sports, Performing arts, Visual arts and Short
modules for life skills enhancement.

2. What accommodations were made for the identified SEN students in the
classroom?
They dont use accommodations, but I thing in my opinion If the student have a math class
the teacher should give the SEN student simple number while give the regular student more
numbers than a SEN student.

3. Was there any assistive technology, other equipment or materials used with
the identified SEN students? If yes, please describe the equipment that was
used and what it was used for.
No, they dont have because its still a now school.

4. What teaching strategies did your MST use with the identified SEN students?
Firstly, she observes their behavior and sees if he repeats the bad behavior many times, then she
write what he did on paper. If he repeats daily that they identify he has a problem, then she talks
to the principle to bring a therapist to Child Case Study.

5. Where there any other school staff that worked with the identified SEN
students? If yes, please explain their role and what they did with the
identified SEN student.
To be honest they not have staff for SEN.

6. Do you think that SEN students should be included in the classroom or

taught in class specifically for SEN students? Why / Why not?
I think the SEN student should be included in the classroom with the regular student
because this with help them to feel more acceptor of the community. Also, the regular
student will.
