SEND and Adaptive teaching strategies CPD Course

SEND and Adaptive Teaching Strategies CPD Course

Led by Specialist Teacher (SLD) Cole Andrew.

About the session

This training session is designed to help educators better understand what adaptive teaching means for pupils with SEND.

Key objectives include:

• Understand key principles in research for supporting pupils who may not be using their voice in school for various reasons.
• Understand and practice commonly used strategies for supporting pupils with communication strategies.
• Take away practical hands-on strategies – explore practice in use of visual symbols.

Overview

Are you working with pupils who are not using their voice to communicate at school?

There may be differing reasons for this but understanding some practical strategies may help. For example, pupils may present with selective mutism, may be pre-verbal developmentally or perhaps autistic people not yet using their voice.

This course explores these and provides advice from experienced classroom practitioners in supporting pupils with alternative methods of communicating. Delegates will receive an overview of the researched practices and tutored examples of how to implement visual strategies in the classroom. These include objects of reference, visual schedules, workstations and assisted language boards amongst others.

Some of these pupils may present with behaviours that are seen to be challenging to manage; communication being a key element in being successful in responding to emotions, such as anxiety. These strategies are designed to reduce overload on memory processing and school anxieties that may help learners of a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, as well as those with communication anxieties or SEND.

As always, our course is designed for delegates to share back and train all their colleagues back in school.
