Plan/do - Medical needs

An individual healthcare care plan is needed, which has been written with the child/young person, parents/carers and relevant medical professionals. The plan needs to be disseminated to all relevant staff, including supply staff.

The plan should include:

  • All medical/physical needs and implications of them for learning.

  • Skills to be taught, (e.g. self-organisation).

  • Adaptations to the physical environment, (e.g. seating).

  • Access to the curriculum (e.g. reducing the written demands of the task, use of verbal or visual cues).

  • Specific strategies (e.g. providing regular rest breaks, use of checklist to support organisation, sensory circuits, extra time for processing).

  • Alternative methods of recording (e.g. matching labels to pictures/diagrams/maps, mind-maps, appropriate visual pictorial or software/ICT/apps-linked resources, PowerPoint presentations, making posters, oral presentations).

  • Additional support for self-care is provided when required/requested.  Please refer to SCC Personal Care Guidance if needed.

  • Any additional equipment (e.g. pencil grips, raised rulers or modified scissors) that is required.

  • Any specialist equipment (e.g. raised or sloped desks or wobble cushions) that is required.

  • Any additional ICT needs.

  • Any additional training needs.

  • Procedures in case of a medical emergency.

  • Involvement of the child/young person.

For children and young people with dyspraxia and other motor co-ordination needs please see the information on the NASEN website: How teachers can help children with dyspraxia succeed at school.

Please see the  DFE document for examples of templates.
