SEND Practice Webinars – On Demand
Overview
In March 2020, the COVID pandemic and school closures offered educators, therapists and teaching support staff the impossible – time to focus on continuing professional development! As part of our commitment to the SEND community, OLT worked with leading SEN experts to design micro-learning opportunities that would share their knowledge and insights in four key areas: autism; ADHD; speech, language and communication needs; and mental health.
Our commitment, free to view!
The webinars and resources are free to view. If you or your organisation has OLT membership, CPD certification is provided for free. Guests are charged a small administration fee of £4.99 per webinar certificate.
