About the child/children: B10 is a lively, curious and enthusiastic little boy who enjoys swimming, football, Rubik's cube, art, and is also learning to play the piano and violin. B10 has not yet received an official diagnosis of ADHD. However, he struggles with impulsivity (he does not control his disappointment when he receives a “no”), forgetfulness (such as remembering his books), executive functioning (he often needs support to start a task but once he gets going there is no stopping him) and can take a little longer to process information at times
(particularly when given too many instructions at one time).
B8 is a happy, conscientious and funny little boy who loves reading, football, Pokemon, and is learning to play the piano. B8 is being assessed for ASD and while he masks well and is very academic at school, at present he struggles with social interaction, communication and understanding social cues.
G4 is a lively, happy and curious little girl who loves Music, ballet, books, and board games. G4 is neurotypical and is currently in Reception class. The Sennie will be required to help G4 as she learns to read and write, and offer support with any homework she has!
Main duties/responsibilities:
? Provide support to the children, with a focus on managing their individual needs and key areas for development and support
? Support the family's goal of nurturing the children's curiosity, creativity, and independence, with kindness and compassion
? Engage the children in activities that promote learning, growth, and development, such as reading, music, outdoor play, and sports
? Provide the children with support in speech and communication, impulsivity and becoming conscious of themselves and the world around them
? Help the children build and maintain friendships, with a focus on social interaction
