Functional Skills checklist

Kate Hebson · 2019-05-14T15:11:16Z

Dear Colleagues I wondered whether anyone had put together a basic functional skills checklist (E.G. can do standing transfers, can load a spoon, can crawl, can pincer grip a pencil etc) to aid transition/ or even be used as an observational assessment for us. Although I've done my utmost to encourage PD specific care plans, they are very often not completed, meaning the quality of transition TACs are dependent upon remembering to ask all the right questions and getting all the right people to attend. Given that my school SENDCos need to prove every penny and EHCPs are generally becoming harder to obtain, it's becoming obvious to me that something like this could prove an important starting point for receiving schools and possibly for me to occasionally measure 'progress'/ identify possible next steps.. Any thoughts? Kate

Hi,

Excellent resources collated here! I used to work at Paces Sheffield, a conductive education school, and staff there used a WHO index for functional skills, which was very thorough. Maybe contact their head teacher and senior conductor, Ruth Lui, for more information?
