SEN Resources
Ensuring that visually impaired and blind pupils receive the support and accommodations they need to succeed is a vital aspect of inclusive education. The ‘VI and Blind Resource’ section is a dedicated hub for Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) seeking specialised resources and guidance. In partnership with the Guide Dogs, this collection of materials is designed to empower educators with the tools and knowledge necessary to create learning environments that are accessible and conducive to the educational advancement of visually impaired and blind students. From adaptive technologies and tactile learning materials to strategies for navigating the school environment safely, these resources aim to address the diverse needs of these pupils, enabling them to engage fully in their educational journey.
