Third-party on-site course
Different – so what? Special Needs Students and Inclusive Education
In most schools we have so-called mixed classes. There are children with different abilities, who struggle in everyday situations, especially in classes. There are many children with special needs and teachers have to deal with all students in the class regardless of their abilities. The participants will improve their theoretical knowledge and expertise in the area of special needs children.
