Over to you
If you're a busy SENDCO or senior leader supporting primary or secondary school age children, our 2-hour Q&A for the Busy SENDCO with Gary Aubin on 5th October may be a fit. Put your questions directly to Gary, Head of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities for a Multi Academy Trust and author of The Lone SENDCO: a Handbook of 300 questions and answers for the busy SENDCO. Questions are invited in advance for this interactive session which promises to be as relevant, informative, and enlightening as it is valuable and engaging.
