- A strengths-based assessment framework: This framework can be used to assess learners' strengths and to identify areas where they need additional support.

This framework can help learners to achieve their academic potential, develop positive self-esteem, improve their social skills, reduce challenging behavior, and increase parental involvement. The SENCo toolkit provides SENCo's with the resources and guidance they need to implement a strengths-based framework in their setting.
