What is Inclusive Practice?
Inclusive Practice is an East Ayrshire initiative using dyslexia friendly and inclusive approaches to:
- foster inclusive learning environments
- empower teachers to meet the needs of all learners
- promote early identification of learners at risk of additional support needs (ASN) and ensure appropriate intervention strategies suited to meet individual’s needs are put in place
- develop a whole school responsibility for supporting learners with additional support needs ASN
- provide professional learning opportunities for staff and a platform for networking as well as sharing and celebrating good practice
- encourage resilience in learners
- promote positive and effective parent/carer partnership
Dyslexia Friendly Schools (DFS) good practice is in fact good practice for all. Research suggests that 30% of pupils at risk of literacy failure can be reduced to 3% with effective DFS classroom practice.
INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
The following working definition of dyslexia has been developed and agreed by the Scottish Government, Dyslexia Scotland and the Cross-Party Group on Dyslexia in the Scottish Parliament. The aim of this particular definition is to provide a description of the range of indicators and characteristics of dyslexia as helpful guidance.
Here are some websites and documentation with useful information which may be of interest:
