New Special Educational Needs and Disabilities training courses
EduCare is working with Connect to create three new SEND courses for schools.
What will the courses cover?
The SEND online training courses will cover Dyslexia, Autism and ADHD.
Autism Awareness
“Please remember autism is a spectrum condition. If you have met one person with ASD you have met one person with ASD”.
This course will teach a further understanding of what autism is and the best way for teachers to interact with pupils who are on the autistic spectrum.
Teachers and other professionals will develop the confidence and skills required to provide a learning experience suitable for each individual pupil’s needs.
Dyslexia Awareness
This course will promote teacher’s understanding of dyslexia, highlighting the different effects that dyslexia can have on pupils. Methods that teachers can use to allow students with dyslexia to achieve their full potential will be covered along with ways to ensure that classroom content is easily accessible for everyone.
It will also look at the technology that teachers can utilise to improve pupil’s self-esteem by enabling them to present printed work.
ADHD Awareness
This course will examine how ADHD can manifest itself in pupils, how this can affect behaviour and learning, and the best ways for teachers to support pupils with ADHD. Suggestions range from suitable seating arrangements to ways for establishing clear rules to manage behaviour. The course also covers technology that can ease pupil frustration when reading and
Breadth and depth
Speaking of the development of the new courses, Bernadette Sixsmith, EduCare’s Head of Product Development commented: “The creation of these three courses is an important step for EduCare. Our customers have been asking for more practical information for working with children with SEND and we are confident that the courses will deliver that knowledge.”
