Meeting the Needs of the Children with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities in the Classroom

SEN and Disabilities Seminar Series 2020/21

Presented by Laura Wyatt, Oak Field School Outreach Service

The seminar will focus on learner centred approaches highlighting ways in which the curriculum could be adapted in both mainstream and special schools. This will include curriculum analysis with a view to restructuring learning programmes. Teaching strategies and techniques, inclusive practice, planning, assessment and target setting as well as social aspects of learning will be addressed.
