You have been studying: Insights from neuroscience (level D)

This module presents recent developments within the field of neuroscience and looks at how these relate to the way children learn. It examines why children with severe, profound and complex learning difficulties may experience neurological difficulties and how you can help them in the way you teach. This module should help you gain an understanding of the child through learning about the brain's biology and function, and realise that overlapping patterns of strengths and difficulties are the rule rather than the exception. Insights from neuroscience demonstrate why supporting the pupil in the classroom requires a personalised and holistic approach.
