How Schools Typically Use STEPS

Most SENCOs tell us they implement STEPS in phases:

  1. Initial focus on 1-2 priority areas (often Autism, ADHD or SLCN)
  2. Core staff complete Level 1 in these areas first
  3. SEND champions in each department/year group complete Level 2
  4. SENCO and key staff access Level 3 specialist content
  5. Gradually expand to additional SEND areas based on school needs

Finally, a solution that doesn't just add to my workload but actually helps distribute SEND expertise across the whole school!

SENCO, Pilot School

This training has really made me think about how we can use ideas that are shown to be beneficial for all children.
