Whilst we work in schools we have realised that there are some needs for training that may not be easily met at the moment.

We are developing a range of courses that are in addition to our core outreach offer. These courses do incur an additional charge. If you have a need for some specific SEN training please let us know.

Using Communicate: In Print 2 to support pupils with SEN in Mainstream Classrooms

Each attendee will use the program to learn how to become competent and confident in the program and see what can be created to support the curriculum and social understanding. This training will give teachers or teaching assistants practical training in the computer program Communicate: In Print 2 to use with pupils with mild to severe SEN. It is delivered by members of the West Suffolk Special Schools Outreach Team, who have used the programme extensively. It is aimed at people working in both Mainstream and SEN contexts with pupils in all phases of education from KS1 to KS4.
