Encouraging Inclusion in the Classroom
This toolkit helps you foster greater understanding and inclusion of pupils with disabilities, special needs and learning difficulties. The activity gives pupils with disabilities a voice and challenges your mainstream pupils (and you) to make changes that make your classroom more inclusive. (Also suitable for clubs and community groups.)
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 and how to stop 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.
Siblings
It is easy to forget, but the brothers and sisters of children with disabilities have challenges of their own to face.
