Mark Loveday is joined by Arran Smith for a final episode, to focus on inclusive environments for SPLD children. Mark talks about how he has rolled out support in his own educational setting and the role of upskilling staff to deliver an effective education to SPLD children.
Practical tips for practitioners
The episode highlights Arran’s view of inclusive environments and offers considerations as to whether a classroom is kitted out effectively and has the look and feel for SPLD children to feel comfortable in. Arran also touches on how less is more when it comes to creating an inclusive environment and not being afraid to ask questions to improve the overall provision.
Practitioners will learn about tools for supporting children, such as illuminated mark making writing boards and sensory tents, as well as the role of supportive agencies that could offer external support.
