April Focus: SEND Awareness and Support


We're proud to announce our focus for this April is SEND! 

With over 1.5 million students in England alone facing special education needs and disabilities, it's crucial to understand and support their unique challenges. From dyslexia to sensory sensitivities, each child's experience is different. 

Join us this month as we explore ways to support these children better and create a more inclusive learning environment

By sharing resources and findings, we can make a difference in the lives of children with SEND!

     

The Role Of STEM/STEAM in Supporting Children With SEND


Before jumping into how specific STEM/STEAM projects can support children with SEND, it is important to note that SEND children need to be included in all your activities! 

This is what inclusive practice is all about – breaking down barriers so all children can easily access learning.
