How can we effectively educate children with special needs? This teacher training course provides solutions. Children with special educational needs (SEN) have unique learning styles and require specialised teaching methods. Teachers must receive proper training and parents and educators must understand the challenges these children face at home and in the classroom. This course empowers you and provides the knowledge and skills required to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students with special needs.

We introduce you to the different philosophies, theories, legal bases and policies of special needs education. We discuss various disabilities and lay out their causes and symptoms to help you recognise a child with special needs early. We examine the roles and responsibilities of the local Education Authority (EA), schools and parents in supporting and employing SEN methods to help students to realise their full potential and take advantage of their opportunities.

The course then walks you through the classroom teaching strategies and methods used to help children with developmental and behavioural disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other learning challenges. We explain how to build a safe and secure learning environment for kids and adults by promoting the values of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in your classroom. This teaching course helps parents, caregivers and teachers of SEN children to support them effectively. This course has no prerequisites and suits anyone who wants to develop skills that they can use to handle diverse learners and master SEN teaching.
