The seminar focussed on important areas related to SEN including recognizing learners with different learning abilities. Today’s teachers need to have an understanding of the learning needs and be sensitive in their approach towards learners. This workshop addresses such needs where the teachers can gain skills to use diverse and varied ways to identify and deal with symptoms related to ADHD and Autism in inclusive classrooms. Other disabilities like Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome were also highlighted to make the participants aware of the symptoms and SEN teaching strategies like differentiated learning and IEP, learning to manage common behavioural challenges in the classroom, etc.
