Additional Learning Needs / Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol

A person has additional learning needs if he or she has a learning difficulty or disability (whether the learning difficulty or disability arises from a medical condition or otherwise) which calls for additional learning provision.

A child of compulsory school age or person over that age has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:


(a) has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or

(b) has a disability for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities for education or training of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream maintained schools or mainstream institutions in the further education sector.

 

Mae gan ddysgwr ADY os oes ganddo/ganddi anhawster neu anabledd dysgu sy’n gofyn am ddarpariaeth ddysgu ychwanegol.

Mae gan blentyn sydd o oedran ysgol gorfodol neu berson sy’n hÅ·n na’r oedran hwnnw anhawster neu anabledd dysgu:

  1. os yw'n cael anhawster sylweddol fwy i ddysgu na mwyafrif y dysgwyr eraill sydd o'r un oedran, neu  
  2. os oes ganddo anabledd, yn ystyr Deddf Cydraddoldeb 2010, sy’n ei atal neu’n ei lesteirio rhag defnyddio cyfleusterau addysg neu hyfforddiant a ddarperir yn gyffredinol ar gyfer eraill sydd o’r un oedran mewn ysgolion prif ffrwd a gynhelir neu sefydliadau prif ffrwd yn y sector addysg bellach.

 

A child under compulsory school age has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she is, or would be if no additional learning provision were made, likely to be when of compulsory school age.

A person does not have a learning difficulty or disability solely because the language (or form of language) in which he or she is or will be taught is different from a language (or form of language) which is or has been used at home.

 

Mae gan blentyn o dan oedran ysgol gorfodol anhawster neu anabledd dysgu os yw ef neu hi yn debygol (neu y byddai’n debygol pe na bai DDdY) o gael cryn dipyn yn fwy o anhawster wrth ddysgu na’r rhan fwyaf o’i gyfoedion/chyfoedion pan fydd yn cyrraedd oedran ysgol gorfodol. 

Nid oes gan berson anhawster dysgu neu anabledd dim ond oherwydd bod yr iaith (neu'r ffurf iaith) y mae ef neu hi yn cael ei dysgu ynddi yn wahanol i iaith (neu ffurf iaith) a ddefnyddir neu a ddefnyddiwyd gartref.

 

“Additional learning provision” for a person aged three or over means educational or training provision that is additional to, or different from, that made generally for others of the same age in—

(a) mainstream maintained schools in Wales,
(b) mainstream institutions in the further education sector in Wales, or
(c) places in Wales at which nursery education is provided.

 

Mae “darpariaeth ddysgu ychwanegol” ar gyfer person tair oed neu'n hÅ·n yn golygu darpariaeth addysgol neu hyfforddiant sy'n ychwanegol at, neu'n wahanol i'r hyn a wneir yn gyffredinol ar gyfer eraill o'r un oed yn—

(a) ysgolion prif ffrwd a gynhelir yng Nghymru,

(b) sefydliadau prif ffrwd yn y sector addysg bellach yng Nghymru,

Neu

 (c) lleoedd yng Nghymru lle darperir addysg feithrin.

 

At Dolau Primary School we shall:

  • Work with the Local Education Authority and parents to ensure a child’s Additional Learning needs are identified quickly
  • Ensure the wishes of the child are taken into account when providing ALN provision
  • Review the child’s progress regularly and assess the impact of any intervention that they are having.
  • Work closely with parents and all agencies involved with the child
  • Ensure that all children reach their full potential

You can find lots of helpful information regarding the ALN Bill on the RCT website below.

Yn Ysgol Gynradd Dolau byddem yn: 

  • Gweithio gyda'r Awdurdod Addysg Leol i sicrhau bod anghenion addysgol arbennig plentyn yn cael eu nodi'n gyflym.
  • Sicrhau fod dymuniadau'r plentyn yn cael eu hystyried wrth ddarparu darpariaeth AAA.
  • Adolygu cynnydd y plentyn yn rheolaidd ac asesu effaith unrhyw ymyrraeth y mae'n ei gael.
  • Gweithio'n agos gyda rhieni a'r holl asiantaethau sy'n ymwneud â'r plentyn.
  • Sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn cyrraedd eu potensial llawn.

Autism is much more common than most people think. There are around 700,000 autistic people in the UK – that’s more than 1 in 100.
ASD info Wales is a National site for Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). On the website you will find lots of information about Autistic Spectrum Disorders (including Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome), service details, training opportunities and updates on the implementation of the ASD Strategic Action Plan for Wales.

Mae awtistiaeth yn llawer mwy cyffredin nag y mae'r rhan fwyaf o bobl yn ei feddwl. Mae tua 700,000 o bobl awtistig yn y DU - mae hynny'n fwy nag 1 o bob 100.

Mae Gwybodaeth ASD Cymru yn safle Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Anhwylderau Sbectrwm Awtistig (ASD). Ar y wefan fe welwch lawer o wybodaeth am Anhwylderau Sbectrwm Awtistig (gan gynnwys Awtistiaeth a Syndrom Asperger), manylion gwasanaeth, cyfleoedd hyfforddi a diweddariadau ar weithredu Cynllun Gweithredu Strategol ASD ar gyfer Cymru.


 

Learning with Autism is a programme that has been developed by the Welsh Local Government Association to raised awareness of ASD in schools and is open to all schools to meet the required standards throughout their whole school. We are very proud at Dolau Primary School to have achieved the Learning with Autism Primary School Award.

Mae Dysgu gydag Awtistiaeth yn rhaglen a ddatblygwyd gan Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru i godi ymwybyddiaeth o ASD mewn ysgolion ac mae'n agored i bob ysgol gyrraedd y safonau gofynnol trwy gydol eu hysgol gyfan. Rydym yn falch iawn yn Ysgol Gynradd Dolau ein bod wedi cyflawni'r Wobr Dysgu gydag Awtistiaeth Ysgol Gynradd.

The Resilient Families’ service has been operational since January 2018 and provides the Team Around the Family arrangements in RCT. It is the Council’s recognised approach to delivering the early intervention and prevention agenda across RCT. Resilient Families Service provides the opportunity to deliver swift, effective, consistent and bespoke support to families. The Service has been designed to identify the right families in need of support at the right time, to provide swift resilience focused assessments, to remove practical barriers to positive change and to provide timely, appropriate and effective interventions. The Service aims to deliver improved support to families in quicker response times; shorter and sharper diagnostic assessment; a trusted single point of contact and pro-active practical support to engage with interventions designed to increase resilience levels.

 

The New Referral mechanism for Resilient Families Service:
Referrals can be made to the Service via the Information, Advice and Assistance (IAA) Team in the following way:
• Families can self-refer for Resilient Families Service by phone (01443 425006) or email (IAATeam@rctcbc.gov.uk) Emails will be read during office hours only Monday – Friday between 08:30 – 17:00
• Professionals referring families to the Resilient Families Service should send referrals to the IAA Team (IAATeam@rctcbc.gov.uk) via email using the C1 referral form. Professionals need to have the consent of families to refer.
All referrals will be ‘triaged’ by the IAA Team for allocation according to risk/need. Referrals received by the IAA Team that do not reach Children’s Services threshold but are deemed appropriate for intervention will be allocated to the Resilient Families Service. Emails will be read during office hours only Monday – Friday between 08:30 – 17:00
