A series of six one-hour seminars running in the morning and afternoon of the event will allow delegates to understand complex areas of specific interest. The sessions will then open up into an interactive discussion on the key issues raised, giving you the chance to contribute to the debate as well as be updated on hot topics of the day. Some of the seminar areas that will be covered are as follows:
Pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) must be provided with a positive, supportive environment in which to learn and succeed. In healthcare, mental health trusts are seeing the wellbeing of service-users rapidly improve because architects are making great advancements in techniques that optimise conditions for recovery. Many of these design interventions can be integrated into the learning environment, providing a child with a sense of safety, structure and growth.
This seminar explores the relationship between special education and mental healthcare, presenting an analytical overview of key case studies in both sectors. This will conclude in a range of pragmatic solutions that must be considered when designing for SEN provision.
