Inclusive Teaching for SEN Students

Course Summary

This course will focus on a broad topic of Special Education Needs. It is a topic well-known in many countries in the world. However, it seems that not many countries have come to a solution that satisfies all stakeholders in the process. It is primary to focus on children's needs, providing the most beneficial outcome to the quality of their lives.
