ABSTRACT
We know that children develop and learn new skills and behaviours progressively and that in many cases learning needs to take place in a particular sequence in order for a child to develop or master more complex concepts, skills and behaviours. For children with special educational needs or disabilities the rate of progress in their development may be much slower or their ability to acquire and develop skills, in particular areas of learning, may be impaired or limited by the nature of their special educational needs and/or disabilities. Progress is often made in very small steps.
