It wasn't me but I think I know who is was I will contact them off the forum and ask them to read this. If not I was a science teacher originally so might be able to help. Do you have specific questions ?

Thanks,  I'm also a science teacher but I was hoping there was a leaflet I could give them to keep (just looking  for something ready made that they could keep in the lab) Pupil has a neurodegenerative condition but is very academically able and loves science. Poor FMS and epileptic.

I have the usual about using trays, plastic not glass if you can, perching stool, protective apron,  having a peer buddy if needed. All ideas gratefully received

One thing to consider is whether your TAs are confident about using apparatus, safety procedures, etc., and giving your pupil the maximum amount of independence. I used to run Science training sessions for TAs, as some would request this.

Also does the exam board you're using accept pupil-directed TA interventions as legitimate evidence of practical knowledge/skills? Of course they should, but in my experience you need to check this directly with the board.

Hope this is useful

Thanks Max

Definitely something to consider.
