Overview

SEN Support Training for Teaching Assistants is a comprehensive course designed to help learners develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to support pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in inclusive educational environments. This programme introduces the core principles of SEN support, child development, safeguarding, communication, and classroom assistance. Learners will gain valuable insight into working alongside teachers to help children overcome learning barriers, participate confidently in classroom activities, and achieve their educational potential.

Providing effective support for pupils with SEN requires patience, empathy, adaptability, and a sound understanding of individual learning needs. Participants will explore topics such as autism awareness, ADHD awareness, speech and language difficulties, learning disabilities, behaviour support, inclusive teaching strategies, Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans, safeguarding responsibilities, and collaboration with parents and multidisciplinary professionals. The course helps learners understand how personalised support can improve educational outcomes while promoting confidence, independence, and emotional wellbeing.

The skills gained through this training may support career progression in education while building confidence in delivering compassionate, inclusive, and effective classroom support.
