Dd 7 has a statement and 20 hrs per week of TA support specified. Currently the whole of this support is covered by one TA who dd loves.
Spoke to HT today and he is proposing that dd is supported in numeracy by one TA, literacy by another TA with her usual TA covering the remaining hours. The reason being he said that dd's TA isn't really experienced at supporting a high ability child and he feels that other TA's would be better placed.
Now I don't particularly mind and suspect dd will benefit really because her usual TA whilst being lovely doesn't really push dd to do her best.
But dd has an emotional attachment to her TA which keeps her anxiety down and enables her to work in the class easier so slightly worried that dd will lose confidence with the TA gone.
Is it common for a primary SEN child to be supported by more than one TA and is it advantageous? Many thanks
