I am a teacher with a few years experience and I have taught lots of children with SEN before. Next year, there is a child in my class with Downs Syndrome. I have met the child and they seemed to enjoy the mini lesson we did.
Their mum is concerned about the change of class and teacher and has requested a meeting with me to discuss her child. I am looking forward to this as it will hopefully give me some information about extra help the child would need. I've been told that the mum is quite a worrier and I would like to put her mind at rest and reassure her she can trust me to give her child a good education, even though I am not as experienced as some other teachers.
What kind of things would you want to hear if you were meeting a teacher to tell them about your DC's special needs? I know she was happy with the previous teacher and may be unsure about someone new so I want to get off to a good start with her. Any advice or experiences would be helpful.
