Case study

Three of the children in your room have been identified as having SEND: • Nadine has cerebral palsy • Amy is on the autism spectrum • Tania has sensory processing issues but has not got a formal diagnosis yet

1. How might these children react differently to the 5 domains of stress?
2. How could you adjustment your room or change your behaviour to help these children self-regulate?

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
