This link talks about children not knowing their own names.
"Jean Gross states there are 1.2 million children in this country with a biologically based impairment; their brains are wired differently, but on top of that we also have children where it is more socially determined,"
Jean Gross is England's outgoing Communication Champion for children. Following on from the Bercow review she was appointed in 2009 to support children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
Linking this back in with the green paper on sen, Gross has also stated that teachers need more support to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of children with communication needs. Just as they have suggested in the green paper that we need to check that schools do not identify pupils as have special educational needs when they simply need better teaching.
