Overview

Moderate Learning Difficulties: a fresh look at effective assessment and intervention

​This course looks in depth at how to analyse and meet the needs of pupils who present as having ‘moderate learning difficulties’, which is often the most frequently- identified SEN category of need in schools, the Local Authority and the UK. It also provides schools with practical tools to ensure they have effective assessment and intervention in place for all children with SEND.

This training will enable participants to:

• ​accurately apply systematic approaches to identifying pupils’ difficulties across different areas of needs, using appropriate assessments (including no-cost ones provided)
• more fully understand the term ‘moderate learning difficulties’ (MLD) and how this can relate to other broad categories of need, including specific learning difficulties (SpLD), speech, language and communication (SLCN) and social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH)
• more fully understand the process of learning and learning difficulties in the contexts of neuroplasticity and motivation
• know how to use specialist principles and frameworks from Instructional Psychology to assess levels of learning and inform effective teaching and evidence-based interventions
• plan how to strategically implement this content in their setting, to strengthen curriculum planning, teaching and learning.
