This webinar is for teachers who have been allocated some SEN classes and have not received any formal training on SEN teaching. Although the course deals in particular with dyslexia, many of the strategies and resources will also help when working with students with other specific learning difficulties such as Dyspraxia and Autistic Spectrum. The emphasis is on practical strategies and planning for the SEN class and the many resources which can help.

Topics to be covered

• Dyslexia and how it affects students at second level.
• The principles underlying the strategies that help the students.
• Classroom planning/resources/strategies for the teacher with some SEN classes. In particular a plan for the year’s classwork for a SEN group is outlined.
• Study skills for the student with dyslexia.
