Learning Tracks is an assessment tool to support the planning and assessment of learning for children and young people with severe and complex learning disabilities (SCLD). It was designed by Lindy Furby and Jilly Catlow while teaching at St Crispin’s School for children and young people with severe and complex learning disabilities.

Learning Tracks presents a framework to recognise achievement at these early levels and plan for progression through challenge, breadth and application.

In addition to this book you will also receive access to the complete ready-made Learning Tracks assessment tool that can be downloaded online.
