SNAP-SpLD is designed for use by special needs coordinators, learning support and specialist teachers in primary and secondary schools, and in SEN support services, special schools and dyslexia/SEN assessment centres.

New features for Version 3 include revised school and home questionnaires, an enhanced SNAP profile giving 'core' and 'expanded' views, a new 'progress review' facility, plus updated information sheets which can now be age-related and more fully personalised to the individual pupil.

SNAP-SpLD involves four steps:

Step 1 (Pupil Assessment Pack): structured questionnaires completed by the class teacher(s) and parents give an initial 'outline map' of the pupil's difficulties.
Step 2 (CD-ROM): the questionnaire responses are collated onto the CD-ROM.
Step 3 (User's Handbook): the photocopiable resource bank of quick diagnostic 'probes' helps give a fuller understanding of specific problem areas.
Step 4 (CD-ROM): the computer-generated profile gives a textured overview of the pupil's difficulties plus specific suggestions for support in school and at home (including personalised information sheets for parents) and resources for practical follow-up.

This Pupil Assessment Pack contains ten copies each of the family, school and What I Feel (self-esteem) questionnaire forms designed for use in conjunction with the Version 3 SNAP-SpLD CD-ROM and User's Handbook, available separately.
