Specialist Spotlight: Memory for Learning (Primary)

Join us for a FREE discussion exploring 'memory for learning’ in primary settings.

Featuring Dr Josselyn Hellriegel: Dr Josselyn Hellriegel is Clinical Psychologist with a specialist interest and experience in paediatric neuropsychology and neurodevelopmental disorders. She has enjoyed working with children, young people and their families helping them focus on a child’s/young person’s unique strengths and address potential difficulties. She has worked in a range of clinical settings, primarily within the NHS, over the past 15 years. Currently, she is working in a social and neuropaediatric setting abroad.

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 importance to learning of both working memory and long-term memory. 
• How to identify and support learners with poor working memory. 
• The three functions of long-term memory – encoding, storage and retrieval.
• Strategies to help learners retain and retrieve the information they need for learning.

The discussion builds on our online SEND CPD units which can be completed in under one 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.
