Split – Special Needs and Inclusive Practices in Education

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Supporting Learners With Diverse Educational Needs

Creating a safe, well-structured, and nurturing learning environment for children with special needs is a significant responsibility for today’s educators. It demands an in-depth understanding of how individual learning requirements should be met and how to guide students throughout their educational journey.
During this Erasmus teacher training programme, participants explore how to recognize the characteristics of learners with SEN, gifted students, and students with various disabilities. Based on these observations, educators learn to design appropriate teaching and support strategies. Particular attention is given to learners with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, visual–motor difficulties, auditory processing disorders, and ADHD—along with identifying the reasons behind their challenges and the types of adjustments they may require.

Incorporating Digital Tools Into Special Needs Education

As technology continues to evolve, teachers have increasing opportunities to use it to support diverse learners. A range of ICT tools is now specifically created for students with special needs. In this course, educators learn how to evaluate the potential barriers related to digital technology use and choose the most suitable tools according to each child’s needs.

Share Insights and Build Best Practices Together

A key aim of the Erasmus+ programme is the exchange of professional experience among educators.
For this reason, participants compare examples of inclusive education for SEN learners from various European school systems, analyzing successful approaches and learning from one another’s perspectives.
