Issues in Depth: Supporting inclusion for children
with Down syndrome (primary and secondary years)
This training course aims to enable participants to promote
effective, evidence-based inclusion for individual pupils with Down
syndrome at primary and secondary schools.
Audience
This is a one-day training course for educational psychologists,
inclusion support teams, Special Educational Needs Coordinators, heads
of learning support and senior managers only.
We also run training courses to provide parents and professionals
with a more general introduction to the range of issues affecting the
education of children with Down syndrome at
primary level (5 to 11 years) and
secondary level (11 to 16 years).
Aims
The Issues in Depth - Supporting inclusion training course
aims to enable participants to promote effective, evidence-based
inclusion for individual pupils with Down syndrome at primary and
secondary schools.
The course aims to provide participants with an in-depth
understanding of the issues, the research evidence and the strategies
that promote effective inclusion and lead to both optimum social
inclusion and optimum educational outcomes for individual pupils.
The course will also equip participants to develop their own training
programmes.
Much of the course content will be relevant to working with
children with similar profiles of specific speech, language and memory
difficulties relative to non-verbal abilities, such as children with
specific speech and language impairment and children with hearing
impairments, and children with similar levels of learning disabilities,
as well as with children with Down syndrome.
