Supporting Children with Complex Needs – A collection of resources for practitioners

Milestones: Supporting learners with complex additional support needs

Milestones (Education Scotland, 2019)  are intended to support practitioners to track progression of learners with complex additional support needs. Glasgow Educational Psychology Service (GEPS) have gathered resources to support practitioners to use Milestones effectively. Many thanks to the ELC settings and LEL team who supported production of resources. GCC ELC settings can also access further input on the Milestones as part of the ‘Supporting Children with Complex Needs’ whole setting training offer from GEPS.
