Schemas to support children with SEND - Online Course

Unlock the power of play and learning with our Schemas to Support Children with SEND online course. Designed for teachers, early years practitioners, SENCOs, and support staff, this course provides practical knowledge and strategies to better understand and nurture children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) through schema-based learning.

Schemas are repeated patterns of behaviour that help children explore, make sense of the world, and develop essential skills. For children with SEND, recognising and supporting these schemas can be transformative—helping to build confidence, communication, and meaningful engagement in learning.

In this course, you will:

• Understand schemas and their importance in child development.

• Identify and interpret common schemas in children with SEND.

• Learn practical strategies and activities to support schema-based learning.

• Adapt environments and resources to promote inclusion and participation.

• Build confidence in supporting individual learning journeys.

With engaging video lessons, real-life examples, downloadable resources, and reflective practice activities, you’ll gain the tools to make a lasting impact on the children you support.

Whether you’re new to schemas or looking to deepen your expertise, this course will empower you to create more inclusive, meaningful, and child-centred learning experiences.
