Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

In the first episode, we looked at Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We spoke to guests working across teaching, learning and research who support those with special educational needs and disabilities. We looked at how their efforts are making way for better identification of learning needs, better innovation in assistive technology, and more inclusion in the classroom, at a time when grade pressure is charged with marginalising SEND learners.
