Supporting children with SEND at home and in the classroom

Researching factors affecting children's outcomes and how best support parents and professionals.

Individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) often need support to allow them to reach their full potential. However, it is not always clear how professionals can best support their needs in the classroom, or how parents can best support their child at home.

Our research focuses on:

• Cognitive and environmental factors that affect educational outcomes in individuals with SEND
