childsplay.uk.netDeveloped for the Willows Centre for Children (a special needs school and early excellence centre in Portsmouth), Childsplay is a place for the school to share their experiences. It is crammed with useful information - from potty training and sleeping to messy play and difficult behaviour. It makes suggestions, gives explanations and explores games and activities that teachers and parents can try with their children. All the content is written by teachers, physiotherapists and the school's speech therapists. And, while the site carefully uses language that is accessible both to teachers and to parents alike, each topic also has a 'FOR TEACHERS' button that provides academic references to support the information given on the main pages. catchup.org.ukCatch Up is a charity that aims to help struggling learners.
