You may also be interested in our online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units. These units explore some of the most commonly observed barriers to learning in classrooms and other learning environments, regardless of age, label or area of need. As 'short hop' learning journeys, each unit can be completed in under an hour. Relevant titles include:

Unit 3: Creating a physically safe environment
Unit 13: An introduction to teaching learners with physical needs

Suitable for: Governor, Newly Qualified Teacher, SENCO, Student, Support staff, Teacher, Teaching Assistant

Terminology and use of language

Just as in any community, the language and terminology used in the SEND community is constantly evolving.

Our resources reflect the terminology and accepted language of the moment in time at which they were produced, and sometimes, although content remains relevant and valid, as our knowledge and understanding grows, some of the terms may not be what we would now choose to use.

We are currently working through our condition specific videos to flag any changes as appropriate - look out for this at the start of each video. These changes will also be incorporated when content is refreshed, which we strive to do as often as possible.

We welcome your feedback
