Our Philosophy
SEN Tutors believe in a child centred approach, this places the child at the centre of the learning process to meet the individual needs of each child. This type of approach begins by looking at the child's interests and experiences they've already received, then listening to their ideas. The child will then become part of the planning (parents and carers are able support if the child needs help communicating).
A child centred approach is a basis to encourage the child to develop independence and to be able to form and voice their own opinions. Children and young people learn by receiving direct experiences that help them to develop confidence.
Child-centred approach
Why is the 'child-centred' approach important?

it gives the child an opportunity to learn through experiences
-
listening to children will teach them that their ideas are valued
-
the child will get a feeling of belonging by taking part in activity planning
-
the child will get access to a variety of activities
-
the child's holistic development will be addressed
-
it enables the child to make decisions and solve problems

the child develops an understanding of the self and the surrounding world
