The BOUNCE Approach®
for SENDCOs
Understanding What's in the Way
Every SENDCO knows these children
The child who has interventions in place and is still struggling to access learning.
The child whose behaviour plan has been reviewed repeatedly and progress remains limited.
The child who receives support from multiple professionals and continues to struggle across the school day.
The child who appears capable on paper but cannot consistently demonstrate it in practice.
The child whose attendance, wellbeing, behaviour, or engagement continues to raise concerns despite everyone’s best efforts.
The child whose needs seem more complex than any single assessment or intervention can explain.
The child who leaves you asking: “What are we missing?”
You are not missing provision.
You are not missing care.
You may simply need a wider lens.
