Thew workshop taught the students about the characteristics and symptoms of different types of SEN and were engaged in experiential learning activities.
Afterwards, the students expressed their enthusiasm about the experiences of SEN children and better understood the difficulties of parents with SEN children. They also learnt the key elements of organising and debriefing activities specifically designed for children with SEN. This workshop allowed our students to put into practice all the knowledge they had learnt about SEN children and promoted their professional growth in the field of social work.
