Special Education (SE) - is a service provided by the Ministry of Education. An everyday learning environment or classroom, by itself, may not be enough for
children to learn to the best of their ability. They may need extra help such as an individual education programme, a behaviour plan or programme, specialist teaching, a therapist to help with movement or speech and language, or the use of special equipment. SE work alongside both children and teachers at Hornby Primary School.
Group Special Education (GSE) - A new group in the ministry of education focused on providing services directly or indirectly to students with special education needs.
Reading Recovery - (RR) Reading Recovery is an effective early literacy intervention designed to significantly reduce the number of children with literacy difficulties in schools. Reading Recovery provides daily one to one teaching with a specially trained teacher for children making the slowest progress in literacy learning after a year at school. It is supplementary to classroom instruction. We have a Reading Recovery teacher at Hornby Primary School.
Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) - They were established in schools in 1999 as part of the Special Education 2000 policy. The primary role of an RTLB is to work with and provide itinerant specialist support to students and teachers in order to improve the education outcomes for students with moderate learning and/or behaviour difficulties. We have RTLB teachers based at Hornby Primary School.
Speech Language Therapists (SLT) - Speech-Language Therapy is the treatment for most children with speech and/or language disorders. A speech disorder refers to a problem with the actual production of sounds, whereas a language disorder refers to a difficulty understanding or putting words together to communicate ideas. SLTs work specifically with our students during school time.
Itinerant Teacher of the Deaf (ITD) - The Itinerant Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing may work in collaboration with professionals in the medical and educational fields as well as with parents. Students receiving the support of these services are enrolled in the classroom setting, and may include: Students with a mild to profound sensory neural hearing loss, who communicate by using speech, listening and speech-reading and/or sign language, students with a history of conductive hearing loss, and/or chronic middle ear infections or students with a unilateral hearing loss.
Occupational Therapists (OT) - Occupational therapy is a health profession dedicated to helping people achieve independence, meaning and satisfaction in all aspects of their lives. They provide specialist support to students and teachers in order to improve general physical well-being and mobility for students.
English Language Assistant (ELA) - Hornby Primary School has a Teacher Aide who works alongside our identified ELS children in the classroom setting and/or work 1-1 with those children who need extra support. These children are learning English as a second language.
Resource Teachers of Literacy (RT: Lit) - They are skilled and experienced teachers who work to meet the needs of primary school students who are at risk of low achievement due to difficulties in literacy learning. RT:Lits provide advice and guidance to teachers and schools and one-to-one tuition to students.
Riding for the Disabled (RDA) - Riding at RDA can begin a process of good learning habits which will follow a student back into the classroom. RDA provides an environment where learning is a coincidental extra to the fun had by students when they perform tasks set by their Coach or Instructor. Learning about caring for and riding horses is different to other forms of learning and is kinesthetic in nature and will engage children quickly and hold attention long after the session is over.
