FundaMental™ as a tool to lift practice in special schools and institutions

BOTH FOR GROUPS OF CHILDREN & INDIVIDUAL INTERVENTIONS

FTL can be used both in individual activities and in small groups and is therefore relevant both in special education contexts and in general provision where special learning resources are available in the form of support teachers, support educators, inclusion consultants, etc. FTL ranges from highly training-oriented tasks to more game-like activities and materials where several children/young people work together to exploit the effects of tactile work. Common to both individual and group activities is that the vast majority of children find them motivating, appealing and a fun way to learn.

CLEAR OBJECTIVES

FTL can be used as a tool to set clear action goals around fundamental cognitive challenges and potentials. The processes that the FTL work reveals to be challenging for the child usually relate directly to academic, practical, social and general challenges in the child’s/young person’s everyday life.

Professional cognitive trainer and teacher in psychiatry

"You can set a completely different type of requirement when it's tactile, inside the box, because they see it as a game. It's like some of the school thinking is lifted."

special needs teacher and parent of child with learning difficulties

"It slows things down. Those boys, they're so fast and sloppy. They have to slow down tactilely."

special educator, all-day school

"They have some good strategies when working in the box, with the vision they are too attention disturbed. They are more persistent when working in the box. They use some strategies that they don't use otherwise."

consultant for special school

"The tactile pathway provides a fantastic extension of my ability to uncover the child's challenges and potentials. Really hope this course will be widely used - for the benefit and development of children and young people"
