In this course you will investigate key aspects that underpin specialist skills in learning in both mainstream and special schools settings. By exploring a range of disability conditions, you will learn specialist teaching strategies to address a set curriculum. You will be able to address the learning needs of children with a disability through curriculum support, resourcing, and individualised lesson planning. You will reflect on your experiences in schools for ways to incorporate learning needs of the individual such as obtaining feedback from all participants, assessment and evaluation, accessing resources and collaborative planning. You will investigate processes to identify, secure and implement educational modifications for successful access to learning, adequate learning spaces, and enable mobility.

This course is a Professional Experience course. It links theory with practice through a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience.
