 |
More than a hundred SNAs have attended IMPACT’s focused training sessions for SNAs so far this month in Letterkenny and Castlebar.
Leanne Traynor and Nicola Mannion led the training - Managing the emotional and sensory needs of students with SEN in the classroom.
The seminar looks at understanding needs affecting emotional and social development, meeting the sensory needs of children, understanding behaviour, promoting good decision-making and principles of good practice in a school setting.
IMPACT organiser Dave Sexton said the feedback from members has been extremely positive. “The training covers areas which SNAs experience on a daily basis in the workplace, so this has real relevance and value for them. It’s great to see so many members taking this opportunity for continuing professional development,” he said.
Dave said IMPACT’s Connacht/Ulster branch is committed to creating opportunities from mebers to avail of professional development at no cost to members.
The seminar will also take place at the Shirley Arms Hotel, Carrickmacross on Saturday 25th November and at the TF Royal Hotel, Castlebar on Saturday 9th December.
