SEND (special educational needs and/or disability) courses are an important resource for teachers, teaching assistants, and other professionals who work closely with children. With our variety of online SEN training opportunities, you’ll get expert insight into diversity and inclusive practices within the education sector.
Learn about the identification and assessment processes for children with SEN requirements and develop specific skills for supporting children with cognitive, learning, social and mental health needs as well as sensory and physical needs.
As well as suggesting tools to use in the classroom, our SEN teaching courses will help you communicate with parents, carers, and other people involved in a student’s support circle. You’ll also learn how to support children beyond academic study in areas such as developing social skills and friendships, as well as managing behaviour.
SEN courses are a great resource for teaching assistants, providing a deeper understanding of how to work closely with children with special educational needs.
Studying SEN online is an accessible way to gain general knowledge of SEN education and learn about the different needs of children with learning challenges, to ensure you’re promoting an inclusive learning environment and tailoring your teaching approach to a child’s specific requirements.
We also offer a variety of courses that focus on specific SEN areas and applications, such as autism education and supporting learners with SEND in computing, which will give you the tools you need to provide specialist support to children and young people.
