Are a Communicator: You can work effectively with teachers, parents, and external therapists to follow EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) targets. Your Core Responsibilities Support: Work 1:1 or in small groups to make the curriculum accessible (e.g., using visual timetables or sensory breaks).
