Supporting pupils with ASD/ADHD by embedding SEND best practice in schools

Podcast

school-pencils

We are seeing an increasing number of queries from schools relating to students with a confirmed or possible ADHD and / or ASD diagnoses. Complex questions come up at admission and through the whole school journey which can be challenging for parents and schools alike.

We explored some of these issues with a panel of experts, including Dr Martin Boulton, High Master of Manchester Grammar School, in our webinar earlier this year. It was an engaging session, and we are delighted that Dr Boulton has joined us again to carry on the conversation.

In this podcast Alice Yandle, Partner, and Sophia Coles, Associate, speak with Dr Boulton on a range of issues including assessment, supporting students and teachers, engaging with the Local Authority and managing behaviour.
