What are the educational implications for students who have Microcephaly?
- Pupils with Microcephaly can present in a very varied way.
- The difficulties associated with Microcephaly can require various levels of support in different areas.
- Pupils with microcephaly can present as having very different needs.
- If asked to support a pupil with microcephaly it is important to collate a 'Pupil Profile' annotating under each key area (motor, communication, learning, strength/weaknesses etc) if the pupil has any needs that require supporting.
- Once the pupil profile has been established – SENCO / Class teacher / Parents / Outreach Service / Health Professionals can work together to identify specific strategies that will support these needs.
