The Portage SEND Best Practice Assessment Checklist supports the assessment of pre-school children who have special educational needs and disabilities focusing on their developmental strengths and needs. Using the portage checklist with families enables a better understanding of each child’s learning, celebrating each small success and being able to recognise gaps at a glance.
By breaking learning skills into small achievable steps, practitioners can plan activities that promote each child’s learning. The Portage Checklist incorporates the early years foundation stage statements so enables direct links when transitioning across learning environments.
