Well done – you have completed Week 2.

In Week 2, we have explored George and Vinita’s lives more fully in order to explore the ways in which Down’s syndrome and cerebral palsy present themselves.

Through this, we have identified some of the key characteristics of these conditions, including how they can impact on individuals’ lives, how we can respond to the challenges they pose and how we can capitalise on strengths and interests to enable people experiencing SEND to have rich and fulfilling lives.

In Week 3, we will explore the lives of Holly and Akia, focusing on their experience of dyslexia and autism. We will also analyse and evaluate a range of ways in which individuals can be supported at home and in educational settings.
