If you raise your voice when you speak to me I can think that I am being told off.
If I am not 100% sure what to do, I will probably ask you to repeat some of the instructions
What Did you say?

talk more slowly,

stand near to you when they speak give instructions,
use signing or picture communication?

Put in here anything that needs to be provided to help you work well, such as a laptop, voice recognition software, visual timetables, visual cues, task management boards, a dictaphone, large type and any other differentiated materials.

23. Things that make it difficult for me to work well
A very noisy classroom
Having the sun in my eyes
Not understanding the task
Working with someone who won’t listen to my views
Think of anything that stops you working well – perhaps
particular noises or
too much noise,
smells or
bright lights for example.
Maybe you can’t work well if you
have to share a desk with another pupil or
you’re too far away from the whiteboard.
These are just examples. Make sure you write about yourself.

Find it hard to concentrate
Need to pace

get angry,
go quiet,
stop working,
shout at people,
chew things,
tap things?

25. If I’m stressed it helps if I can....
Have time to calm down before I have to explain something
Calm Down!
Write down what helps when you are stressed.
For example, do you like to
go somewhere quiet,
talk about it to a teacher,
sit quietly and rest in the classroom,
look at a book about your special interest?
