WISENDSS - Wakefield Inclusion and Special Educational Needs / Disabilities Support Service are committed to offering support and training at an individual or whole school level in the areas of Autism (ASD), Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and Learning Support.
What we do
- Deliver training to school staff.
- Work directly with children and young people in their school setting.
- Provide advice and support to schools to develop ways of working that best support their pupils.
- Help schools plan and identify what to do now and how to support in the future.
- Support the child or young person to take part, have a voice and be fully involved in plans.
- Work closely with other agencies.
WISENDSS Advisory Teachers, Senior Specialist Support Officers and the Intervention Practitioner can offer specific interventions to address need and develop skills in the following areas;
- Communication skills, language development, speaking and listening, expressing ideas and views and listening to others
- Literacy and numeracy
- Social skills, getting along with others, making friendships and knowing how to work alongside others
- Emotional regulation and wellbeing, to help a child or young person to manage and respond to emotional experiences, to help them recognise how they feel and how others are feeling.
This service is available to schools within the Wakefield District. Contact the WISENDSS team - WISENDSS@wakefield.gov.uk
