Special Education Needs (SEN) teachers are the backbone of inclusive international schools. The International SEN Consultation Circles were created to support SEN teachers around the world in their work to provide quality education for neurodiverse children.

Join dynamic online sessions with small groups of 5-8 international learning support teachers in each Circle.
