In this special edition we are joined by SEN colleagues in France, Germany and Grenada and take a look at what has been happening in those countries compared to our practices here in the United Kingdom.

This week the team take a deeper look into the roles they perform as Educationalists and how that might look when things eventually settle down into whatever the 'new norm' will be following the untimely intervention of COVID-19.

In this episode the team are joined by several families from both Brent and the Island of Grenada. We hear first hand, the challenges that these families are experiencing and exchange ideas, best practice and strategies as we all work towards a new norm.

The team in turn offer guidance and best practice as a means of tackling the challenges Keisha faces.

Social distancing is now taking centre stage in our interactions with others, but how is it impacting the SEN community? What challenges does it present? The team discuss and share their coping strategies. Also in this episode, the team discuss the use of 'Social Stories' as an effective tool in these unprecedented times.
