I think the main thing is giving the support that is required and that is why many of my small group interventions are for both those children on my special needs register as well as other children who are also struggling with that particular concept the group is targeting or for those who need higher level targets such as gifted and talented children. I am happy that there is no stigma attached to working outside the classroom and am regularly approached by many children who wonder if they can have some time in group x y z etc!SENCO Cat Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026889857534425125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952148482813126649.post-7742630344991662662014-04-09T15:12:12.823-07:002014-04-09T15:12:12.823-07:00Great teachers do make a difference, and those tea...Great teachers do make a difference, and those teachers that teach special needs students (somehow I don't like that definition) have a special place in this world and I hope the next. My grandson has autism and for all those teachers who really help him and take the time, they are heroes to me.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952148482813126649.post-52357161364997072112014-04-09T14:51:30.253-07:002014-04-09T14:51:30.253-07:00Thanks for commenting, Lucy.

I got over it, but it was a struggle to catch up and then finally in 4th grade my teachers really saw how gifted I was. Great teachers make a world of difference! My hat goes off to all teachers who work so hard for children.<br />~Lucy <br /><a href="http://kidsmathteacher.com" rel="nofollow">Kids Math Teacher</a>Lucy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797426028105651089noreply@blogger.com
