The dyslexic brainDr Duncan Milne, educational neuropsychologist, Dyslexia InternationalBrain research into developmental dyslexia will be reviewed, and causes of dyslexia, subtypes of dyslexia and dyslexic intervention discussed. Results show that dyslexia has a different brain signature before and after successful reading intervention. Application to classroom practice will be discussed in terms of prevention and intervention, and the targeting of specific weaknesses when developing such programmes.KS1-2 Levels 1-3 SL01 Growing great teachers Margaret Mulholland, director of teaching school, Swiss Cottage School, Development and Research Centre, and Rachael Hare, head of ITT, Harris AcademiesMany schools are now “growing their own” teachers, but how do we ensure that all early career teachers are equipped to identify and support learners with increasingly complex needs in our mainstream and special schools? This session will share strategies to support better understanding and practice of working with complex learners in every setting. All key stages Levels 2-3 SL02

Role of the SENCO in evaluating SEN provision and outcomesNatalie Packer, independent education consultant, Natalie Packer Educational Consultancy LtdDiscover effective ways of reviewing and evaluating the quality of provision and outcomes for pupils with SEN within a mainstream school. The session will highlight the role of the SENCO, working alongside other leaders, in developing a whole school approach to SEN review. Guidance will reflect expectations within the Common Inspection Framework and recommendations around the peer-review process.KS1-4 Levels 2-3 SL03

Supporting children with social interaction needs in primary schoolsWendy Lee, speech and language consultant, Wendy Lee LtdMany children with SEND struggle with social interaction skills. Some children have an autistic spectrum condition – where social interaction skills are a core element – others may have specific pragmatic language impairments or speech and language needs or other difficulties. This session will explore how to identify such children and how to support them. KS1-2 Levels 1-2 SL04

Engagement in the Rochford Review: from policy to practiceProfessor Barry CarpenterThe Rochford Review proposes a new approach to assessing children with SEND, central to which is the principle of engagement. Barry will explain his research and the importance of the Engagement for Learning Framework in raising standards of teaching and learning for all learners with SEND. The needs of the new generation of children with complex needs will be considered.All key stages Levels 2-3 SL05 Academy/school leadership and the management of SENMalcolm Reeve, executive director, SEND and inclusion, Academies Enterprise TrustThis session will offer guidelines on the key principles for leadership of SEND by SENCOs and senior staff across schools and academies in all phases of education.

Seminar programme : Friday 6 October : 12.30 – 13.30

Appealing to the SEND Tribunal: an effective approachJudge Jane McConnell, judicial lead, First-tier SEND TribunalAn overview of the effective approaches that local authorities and parents/young people should consider adopting when appealing to the SEND Tribunal. In this seminar, Jane will outline the law that the tribunal applies, preparation for an appeal and guidance on gathering evidence.All key stages Levels 1-3 SL10

Supporting young people with developmental coordination disorder/dyspraxia in secondary and post-16 settingsProfessor Amanda Kirby, University of South WalesThere is increasing evidence to show that children with DCD/dyspraxia do not all “grow out” of the condition. This talk will describe the motor and non-motor impact of the condition for students and provide practical strategies for maximising success and helping, especially at times of transition. KS3-4 and post-16 Levels 1-3 SL11 The social impact of unsupported speech, language and communication difficulties – breaking the mould Maggie Johnson, speech and language therapist adviser and education consultant, Kent Community Health NHS Foundation TrustUndiagnosed or unsupported communication difficulties can lead to under-achievement and low self-esteem. Language-processing difficulties can be subtle and easily masked by secondary behavioural issues. Maggie flags up early warning signs with tips to support students of all ages in a range of settings.All key stages and AEN Levels 1-2 SL12

Writing skills for reluctant writers – especially boys!Neil Mackay, director, Action Dyslexia LtdReluctant writers have all the ideas and skills they need to write effectively, but struggle with processing, sequencing and memory overload. This practical session demonstrates how simple tweaks to current practice support students to write as well as they talk. It also demonstrates how to get it right for boys in ways that also work for girls.KS1-4 Levels 1-3 SL07 Rethinking the role and impact of teaching assistants in inclusive classroomsRob Webster, researcher/director, MITA, UCL Institute of EducationThe latest research on TAs and their role in supporting pupils with SEND will be presented, exploring ways in which schools can evaluate their practice against the evidence, highlighting practical tools and resources. This session aims to “tool up” school leaders and SENCOs and equip them to make informed decisions about effective TA deployment and SEND provision.KS1-4 Levels 1-3 SL08 Transition for those with cognition and learning difficultiesTricia Murphy, independent trainer, past president of nasenWhether children and young people are moving from key stage 2–3 or 3–4 or 4–5 and on to further/higher education, transition can be a critical time. This session will identify what Ofsted requires for transition arrangements, what parents are beginning to expect and what is best for the individuals concerned.KS2-4 Levels 1-3 SL09

Sustaining special educational needs and disability (SEND) reform: SENCO challenges and solutions beyond 2018!Christopher Robertson, SEN and disability independent academic and honorary lecturer, University of Birmingham In discussing the role of SENCOs in “transforming” the quality of educational support for children and young people with SEND, consideration will be given to challenges faced by SENCOs during the transitional phase, due to end in April 2018, of implementing the Children and Families Act 2014. Possible solutions to the challenges, and methods of support will be identified.All key stages Levels 1-3 SL15

Developing a multisensory approach to early language developmentCarol Allen, education consultantPoor language and communication skills are a primary barrier to learning in many nurseries and schools. Our youngest students often have under-developed sensory pathways that can contribute to their ability to absorb and engage with language. This practical session will offer effective, easy-to-replicate ideas that use the power of a multisensory approach to language, learning and life. EYFS, KS1-2 Levels 1-2 SL16

Personal provision – outcomes versus outputsPat Bullen, SEND consultant, PMB Education LtdThis session will enable delegates to focus on meaningful person-centred outcomes, related to both the EHC Pathway and to SEND support, and the implications for schools, academies and local authorities in planning and delivering.All key stages Levels 1-3 SL17 Whole school self-evaluation of SENDKate Browning, independent SEND consultant, School Improvement for SENDThe SENCO has a pivotal role to play in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the school’s SEND provision and practice.

Seminar programme : Friday 6 October: 15.30 – 16.30

Moderate learning difficulties – a thing of the past?Jane Friswell, SEND consultant, SEND ConsultancyModerate learning difficulties (MLD) is a term specific to pupils who experience a level of learning difficulty, which SEN support should be able to provide. The term MLD has fallen out of use – why? Where are the children and young people to whom this is relevant? Is the support we offer in mainstream provision meeting the needs of those with MLD?All key stages and FE Levels 1-3 SL22 Are you one of the “hidden heroes”?Sal Cooke OBE, adviser in the use of assistive technology in teaching, BATATechnology to assist learners and their learning is a vital part of any learning provider’s resource base. The role of assistive technologist (AT) is not yet clearly defined in many settings. This session will highlight the importance of recognising this role and focus on some of the hidden AT heroes within education settings, on whom learners depend. All key stages, post-16 and HE Levels 1-3 SL23 SpLD and the overlap across learning difficultiesProfessor Amanda Kirby, University of South WalesSpecific learning difficulties (SpLD) in reality are not very specific. This talk will present the evidence for overlapping patterns and co-occurrence between the different learning difficulties. Amanda will present information on the links between emotion and learning and why this is important in providing inclusive approaches.All key stages Levels 1-3 SL24

The importance of early experiences in developing a strong foundation for social and emotional well-being and mental health in the early yearsJulie Revels, early years SEND trainer and consultant, Church Park ConsultantsThis session will consider how to identify and meet the wide range of social, emotional and mental health needs of children in the early years. It will include key aspects of understanding of early brain development with reference to the growing evidence from international research, including The Harvard Center on the Developing Child.EYFS Levels 2-3 SL19 The view from the other side of the fence: Why include? Who is it for?Nancy Gedge, consultant teacher, Driver Youth TrustIn this session, Nancy will explore the thorny issue of inclusion through the eyes of the parent, the child and the school. By following the experience of a parent and child from diagnosis to the school years, Nancy will illustrate the philosophical underpinnings of inclusion to reveal its benefits, particularly for teachers and the school.All key stages Levels 1-2 SL20

Person-centred planning and technology: bringing pupils into focusJohn Galloway, advisory teacher for ICT/SEN and inclusion, Tower Hamlets The aim of person-centred approaches is to place the learner at the centre of the process, supporting them in realising their goals and starting with what is important to them.

Developing a multisensory approach to support students with dyslexiaCarol Allen, education consultantDyslexia causes major barriers not only to competence with literacy, but also to social and emotional development and confidence. Drill and practice intervention models abound, but by working via a multisensory approach, greater success and generalisation of learning can be achieved. On offer are some easy-to-replicate ideas that use a multisensory approach to literacy, learning and life.KS3-4 and post-16 Levels 1-2 SL26

Different for girls – female autismSarah Wild, headteacher, Limpsfield Grange SchoolThis seminar will explore how autism presents in girls, and focus on autistic female friendships, anxiety and vulnerabilities.

SEN policy update: top tips for effective EHC planning Lorraine Petersen, educational consultant, LPECWith less than a year to go before the SEND reforms have to be fully implemented, Lorraine will look at how close local authorities and schools are to completing the transition. Also covered will be the application process for an (EHC) needs assessment, the process to an education, health and care plan and the annual review process to ensure continuation of provision.KS1-4 Level 3 SL37

Wiggly or gifted? Working memory and ADHDTracy Packiam Alloway PhD, psychology professor and graduate programme director, University of North FloridaSome students have poor working memory and a learning disability – they have a double deficit. Students with ADHD find it hard to control their behaviour and can also have poor visual working memory. Twice exceptional gifted students also often present problems such as oppositional behaviours. What do these groups have in common? What strategies work in supporting classroom learning?KS1-3 Levels 1-3 SL38

Addressing trauma in childhood and understanding children’s mental health needsAqualma Murray, independent empowerment speaker and trainerThis session on mental health issues will focus on trauma, self-harm and mental health.
