Join us for a FREE discussion exploring an introduction to teaching learners with physical needs in primary settings.

Featuring Di Ceasar: Di Ceasar has over 30 years of experience of both mainstream and special education sectors including 10 years as a Governor for a local secondary school. Di is an experienced manager and has contributed to work streams at a local, county, regional and national level to develop provision and policy which contributes to better outcomes for CYP with SEND.

The discussion will be hosted by Whole School SEND’s National Delivery Coordinator, Caroline Sutton-Reid, and everyone will be encouraged to join in, ask questions and share experiences. As such, content will be responsive but may cover some or all of the following themes:

  • The challenges facing learners with physical needs, and how their needs might affect their experience of school or college
  • How practice can be adapted to include learners with physical needs, and 
  • The importance of working closely with learners with physical needs, their families and the range of other professionals who support them.

The discussion builds on our online SEND CPD units, each one can be completed in under an hour. While everyone is welcome to take part in the session, delegates who have completed the corresponding unit content in preparation are likely to find the sessions particularly helpful.

Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, recordings will not be made available after the event.
