| Hidden Disabilities Professional Development Workshop |
|
We are often very aware of physical disabilities but find it quite a bit harder to understand disabilities like Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Intellectual Impairment, Speech language problems, Dyslexia and many other hidden disabilities. This workshop is called 'The Inclusive Classroom/ Hidden Disabilities - Teacher Professional Development'. It aims to give all teachers a handle on understanding some of the issues and feelings that face the students in their classroom every day. It will be a positive, energizing experience that will leave your staff with key solutions they can utilise in their everyday teaching. We base our hands on activities around five key hidden disabilities and simulate an experience of them all. These are then related to pedagogy and curriculum. All questions are answered and resources supplied. A frequent comment from teachers is that they have often spent years researching and reading about a specific disability, like ASD, and have still not understood it. However after they have experienced our simulation and discussions help them to gain a real understanding. Through experiential learning comes a deeper understanding. Hidden disabilities are very complex and very difficult to really gain a good knowledge of. Our feedback from teachers who have completed this workshop is always that they really benefited from attending and they loved the hands on nature of the session. We are confident that if all your staff do not gain help from the session we will refund your money. This positive workshop experience takes a short amount of time. It will help solve complex problems and create solutions in your school. Our program is unique and our simulations on Autism, Intellectual and perceptual difficulties and many of the other demonstrations are very powerful. For staff that may feel like they need a little more information on some of the students in their class who are a little bit different, these sessions will really help them gain confidence and a working knowledge of hidden disability. Think about your next staff meeting or professional development session. We can run these sessions over one hour. This hour will benefit your staff forever.
