Overview
Child Psychology and SEN Teaching Assistant combines foundational knowledge of children’s psychological development with an introduction to supporting pupils who have special educational needs. The course explores child development, behaviour, communication, emotional wellbeing, learning differences, inclusive education, classroom support, observation, and positive relationships. Participants will gain insight into how developmental factors can influence children’s learning and how teaching assistants can contribute to supportive, structured, and accessible classroom experiences.
Understanding individual differences can help education support staff respond more thoughtfully to children’s needs. Participants will examine cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural development alongside common learning difficulties and barriers to participation. The training also considers classroom assistance, communication strategies, differentiated activities, positive behaviour support, safeguarding, confidentiality, collaboration with teachers and families, and recognising when further specialist support may be appropriate. Emphasis is placed on respectful, child-centred approaches that encourage participation while recognising that every pupil has individual strengths and requirements.
The course can complement professional development across education, special educational needs support, childcare, teaching assistance, youth services, and learning support. Child Psychology and SEN Teaching Assistant is suitable for aspiring SEN teaching assistants, classroom assistants, childcare professionals, education support workers, parents, carers, and individuals interested in children’s learning. Participants can strengthen transferable qualities including observation, patience, empathy, communication, organisation, active listening, teamwork, adaptability, behaviour awareness, safeguarding awareness, problem-solving, and professional judgement.
