SEN Learning Support Assistant

SEN Learning Support Assistant Course

Course Overview

Many children around the world are diagnosed with various forms of disabilities or learning difficulties. Without appropriate guidance and structured support, these challenges can significantly impact their ability to learn, communicate, and socialise effectively.

The SEN Learning Support Assistant Course is designed to equip learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to provide meaningful support to children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This course focuses on addressing the lack of adequate support systems by preparing individuals to contribute positively to students’ academic progress and social development.

The curriculum begins with a comprehensive introduction to SEN, ensuring learners build a strong foundational understanding. It then progresses into specialised modules covering SEN support strategies, communication and interaction, cognition and learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health challenges, sensory and physical needs, and collaborative working practices. By the end of the course, learners will feel confident in supporting children across diverse educational settings.
