Overview

"Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or the same way." - George Evans

With this powerful quote, we understand that every individual learns and grows differently. This is especially true for students with special educational needs (SEN) who require a unique set of skills and support to thrive academically and socially. The importance of special education and meeting the individual needs of students with SEN cannot be overstated. This is where our course on Special Needs and Special Education: Best Practices for Meeting Individual Needs comes in.

Through this course, you will gain a deep understanding of the legal entitlements of students with SEN, different disabilities and development, and types of special educational needs. You will also learn about the effects of disabilities on learning and behaviour, best practices for meeting individual needs, and the role of communication and interaction in special education. With this knowledge, you will be equipped with the tools and techniques needed to create an inclusive and effective learning environment for students with SEN.

In today's society, it is more important than ever to create inclusive and accessible learning environments for all students. As such, this course is highly recommended for educators, caregivers, and anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of special education and how to support individuals with SEN. Join us today to make a positive impact on the lives of students with special educational needs.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
