The four-year programme
• During the initial stage of the IDP the focus will be on
dyslexia, and speech, language and
communication needs (SLCN) since the ability to
communicate is fundamental to children’s learning
and progression
• In the years to follow, the focus will be on autistic
spectrum disorder (ASD); behavioural, emotional
and social difficulties (BESD); and moderate Learning
difficulties (MLD)

The IDP
The programme draws upon existing materials and guidance
produced by the National Strategies and on a range of other
resources to ensure that practitioners can easily draw on
existing research and pedagogy in terms of ‘what works’ for
all children when planning for children with SEN.
To ensure that the IDP draws on the best of what is available
the National Strategies are working closely with specialists
from the voluntary sector and other Children’s Services
partners.
