We are running our popular Literacy and Complex Needs online course in a new format in the spring, following a successful run last autumn.

From April 2024, participants will have access to an 8-week online learning course with weekly live and interactive online workshops. If you would like to develop your knowledge and skills, why not sign up for this practical course aimed at staff supporting children and young people with complex learning needs in specialist provisions, mainstream and special schools.

Technology to Support Literacy for Learners with Complex Needs (8-week self-study course).

What to Expect

Weekly interactive workshops: engage with live workshops and ask questions.
Explore learning tools: find out about hardware, software and apps for Windows, iPads and Chromebook devices.
Develop your Professional Learning: reflect on what literacy should look like for children and young people with complex learning needs.
Practical Application: create an implementation plan for your setting.

Each week in the online workshop, we will approach an aspect of literacy for complex needs learners and identify assistive technology tools and strategies that can enable access to reading and writing using a variety of low-tech and high-tech tools. The course is designed to be practical with ideas and resources that you can try out with your learners. By the end of the course, our aim is that you feel more confident identifying and using assistive technologies and are inspired to carry on with your literacy and technology journey!
