2. The importance of oral communication and how to develop a whole school approach with Emmanuel Awoyelu

1. Supporting complex needs through physical activity with Angela Lydon

Q: What would a truly inclusive PE programme look like for these students?

It should be person-centred, tapping into students' interests and ensuring activities are enjoyable and engaging for them, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

1. Supporting complex needs through physical activity with Angela Lydon

Q: What changes have you seen over those years from when you started to now?

There is growing recognition that children with complex physical disabilities have a right to access PE and sport, but funding and support have declined over the years, highlighting ongoing challenges.

1. Supporting complex needs through physical activity with Angela Lydon

Q: Why is it important for the physical development of children or young people with complex needs?

PE is crucial for children with complex needs as it enhances their happiness, health, and academic development, particularly since they do not spontaneously develop motor skills like typically developing children do.
