The main focus of this unit is on creating inclusive learning environments for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The aim is to develop students knowledge of the educational and developmental needs of children with intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional and/or behavioural disabilities, learning difficulties, and those who are gifted or talented. Relevant national and state policies and legislation in the area of disability will be examined in relation to the learning context. Through a combination of community service, interaction with individuals who have diverse learning abilities and the investigation of particular learning problems, students will be encouraged to reflect on learning practices and to develop strategies to engage children with SEN in inclusive environments.
