Reflections on Observation Task 2: Identifying Children
with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Read the questions below and write your answers

1. What is the school policy for inclusion for SEN students in the school?
- Inclusion is being a part of what everyone else doing, theyre included

in the class with regular students. Some of SEN are diagnosed in early

age but some of them cant be diagnosed yet because they are still

small.
2. What accommodations were made for the identified SEN students in

the classroom?
- The teachers would help them while doing their tasks, and she would

make it easier for the student to do it, she would observe the student

until she had some clues that this student is a SEN, then they will start

working with the students and his/her parents.


3. Was there any assistive technology, other equipment or materials used

with the identified SEN students? If yes, please describe the equipment

that was used and what it was used for.


- There were no any assistive technology or any kind of equipment.
4. What teaching strategies did your MST use with the identified SEN

students?
- There were no SEN students in my classroom as they said but there is

one boy who I think that he possible had (ED) emotional disturbance, I

worked with him for a whole day and sometimes he wont sit next to

me, so I ignored it but then he would come back to me with his book
and sit for few minutes. So when he came back to me I tried to teach

him and make things simpler for him.


5. Where there any other school staff that worked with the identified SEN

students? If yes, please explain their role and what they did with the

identified SEN student.


- As far as I know there were no school staff that worked with the

identified SEN students.

6. Do you think that SEN students should be included in the classroom or

taught in class specifically for SEN students? Why / Why not?

- I think they should be included in the classroom, because even if they

need special treatments they still want us to treat them equally to

others, that why if we have them in a regular class they would feel as a

part of the community. It also depend on the SEN students disabilities,

maybe some of them cant handle a regular classroom.
