Thank you for making this show! I hope there will be more sessions soon.
This is a great listen for teachers who are seeking further learning and understanding of learning difficulties to support our students in the classroom. I stumbled across this by accident, trying to find some strategies that were meaningful for some of my newly-diagnosed students and were more than just a sentence written on an ILP/IEP/BSP to ‘check the boxes’. The presenters are a hoot! Very engaging!
It told me all about dyslexia and all about the learning I loved it👍
Wonderful quality of speakers and great moderators.
Thank you for this informative podcast.
