• Make use of some ‘eye-catching’ instruments like computers to arouse interest in learning by children
• Work hand-in-hand with the classroom teachers to ensure that activities that are being put in place for children are related to national curriculum
• Work closely with other professionals like educational psychologists or physiotherapists
• Teach and mentor students, both collectively and individually
• Look after student’s social and emotional needs
• Communicate with students to determine their needs and ensure they are equally met
• Observe students to find out changes in behaviour or in other areas and report such observations to the classroom teacher
