Featured Courses
Using Play to Communicate
It can be difficult to understand and communicate exactly what we are feeling, especially for children, or for people with special educational needs. Play gives children and adults the opportunity to express emotional and psychological issues in a relaxed and safe environment. This course is designed to give you an introduction to using play for communication.
Bullying, what is it, why does it happen and what to do about it.
Nobody deserves to be bullied. Bullying is bad for everyone involved – most importantly, the person who is bullied, who does not choose for this to happen to them. This course explains what bullying is, why people bully, what the impact is on the victim, and how to prevent it happening in the school or context.
Bullying – 10 minute teach
Welcome to our 10 Minute Teach on Bullying.
This short introduction to bullying explains what bullying is, why people bully, and what the impact is on the victim.
Siblings
It is easy to forget, but the brothers and sisters of children with disabilities have challenges of their own to face.
This is a group often overlooked or who are called upon to make compromises. This course looks at some of the emotional, physical and social pressures on siblings, what educators should be aware of, and what support might be needed.

What People Are Saying
This course is an amazing tool to get confidence to work together with schools. The focus on understanding each other, cooperation, and awareness of school procedures promotes good practices and facilitates the creation of real inclusive education communities.
Just completed this training! It taught me a lot and I think it will be very useful for schools. This area is often not thought about enough!
Education is a right of every child regardless of Disability. Children with Disabilities should be able to access quality Education near them, without having to travel at so far.Imagine we have more Inclusive Schools in our country.
This is very valuable information for those wanting to learn about inclusion and access. The WCA Accessibility Framework is a tool anyone can use to understand and help someone with a disability.
