New Educational Materials Now Available on the SPECTRUM Project Website

We are excited to announce a brand-new addition to the SPECTRUM Project (Supporting Elementary School Teachers in Recognizing and Understanding Minors with Special Educational Needs) Website under the Educational Materials section: GUIDELINES: How a Child with SEN Perceives the World. This resource features intuitive infographics designed to help educators, parents, and caregivers gain a deeper understanding of various Special Educational Needs (SEN). The infographics cover a wide range of disorders, disabilities, and impairments, including: Dyslexia Dysorthographia Dyscalculia ADHD Visual impairments Hearing impairments ...and more! Children with SEN often face unique challenges that can make traditional learning environments difficult. The project goal is to provide clear, insightful visuals that break down the complexities of these challenges. Understanding how children with SEN perceive the world is the first step to creating a more inclusive and supportive educational experience. Check out the SPECTRUM Project Website to explore these valuable guidelines and enhance your knowledge on how to better support children with SEN to create a more inclusive learning environment for all students.

Launch of the SPECTRUM Project in Prague

At the end of January, the kick-off face-to-face meeting of the international consortium of the new Erasmus+ project, SPECTRUM - Supporting Elementary School Teachers in Recognizing and Understanding Minors with Special Educational Needs, took place in Prague. During the two-day meeting, all participants were briefed on the project objectives, project packages, timeline, financial aspects and dissemination strategies. The informal part of the meeting consisted of a tour of the historical centre of Prague as well as a tasting of traditional Czech cuisine. The aim of this project is to create an inclusive learning environment across different sectors to promote equitable learning experiences from early childhood to higher education. The intention is to support teachers who are not trained in special pedagogy, yet work with children with disabilities on a daily basis without the much-needed systemic support. Partners from the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Spain will be working on this issue for the next 2 years and we will keep you informed about the results of our work.
