The TDA’s special educational needs (SEN) and disability programme focuses on specific projects supporting the Government’s SEN strategy, Removing Barriers to Achievement.

We aim to enhance your skills as a teacher in relation to SEN and disability, focusing on:

• The core skills required to manage SEN and disability in the classroom; this area focuses on initial teacher training and induction
  
  
• The advanced skills that some teachers may develop as part of their continuing professional development
  
  
• The specialist skills required to teach children with more severe and complex needs

Five main special educational needs resouces provide teachers with useful information and materials.
