About this course Have you ever had a situation where you could not work out what a student was thinking? Or a student who struggled to learn practical tasks? Maybe a student told you they were dyslexic or dyspraxic or autistic and you didn’t really know what this meant or how to help them?
Sometimes it’s hard to know how best to manage students if they are struggling to learn in your practice. Frequently the reasons why students find learning hard is that they have learning differences. It can be very helpful to recognise some of the impacts these differences might have and to consider simple ways to make your practice a more supportive learning environment for
everyone.
Why do this course?
This webinar will help you consider how the spectrum of learning differences might affect students on EMS placements. We will also discuss at the sorts of reasonable adjustments that can be made to facilitate a successful and happy learning environment in your practice. We will help you give students the support they need to succeed.
The webinar will run from 12.00pm to 2.00pm London time including a 30 minute registration and familiarisation period prior to the commencement of the lecture.
