Supporting Generalisation

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Define generalisation and explain its importance in educational settings.

2. Distinguish between demonstrating a skill in a teaching situation and using it across different contexts.

3. Identify common barriers that may prevent a learned skill from transferring to everyday situations.

4. Recognise the importance of practising skills with different people, materials, routines and environments.

5. Identify practical opportunities to support generalisation within everyday educational activities.

6. Explain why generalisation should be considered when planning and evaluating support for individual learners.

   
   

This session introduces generalisation principles and practical considerations. Developing and evaluating individualised teaching programmes across multiple settings requires more detailed planning and assessment.
