Background
As a parent to a neurodivergent child, I believe strongly that all teachers should have basic SEN training in how to handle children in mainstream school that have special educational needs. The growing numbers of SEN children in the uk is at an all time high and trained specialists are few and far between. By making SEN training part of the curriculum we could reduce pressure on not only staff but on families of SEN children giving them peace of mind that their children are in good care.
