If you have a child with special educational needs and disabilities, we have an upcoming event that may be of great interest to you.

This session is crucial for anyone who want to stay up-to-date with current policy and practice.

We believe this is a fantastic opportunity for educators and parents to learn from leading experts in the field and enhance their ability to support children with special educational needs and disabilities.
