Today we welcome our colleague Dr. Anne Hodgson, an expert in autism and additional learning needs more widely. We discuss the new ALN act in Wales and the implications for pupils and teachers. As well as that, we consider how the new curriculum in Wales might have an impact on provision for pupils with additional learning needs, and what mainstream settings (and the teachers in them) need to do in order to support pupils to access their education in a mainstream environment.

Thanks to Anne for joining us! If you'd like to find out more about the education and social justice research group, you can drop her an email at [email protected]!
