Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has start dates in January and September.  It can also be taken as an intensive summer school course.

This course is designed for teachers or other professionals who have an interest in increasing their knowledge and skills in the field of special needs.

The course covers four main areas:

• Understanding and supporting students with reading difficulties/dyslexia
• Personal, social and emotional developments

The course contains both taught and experiential elements. It covers the theoretical aspects of each area, practical strategies and aspects of self-development.
