Books and resources for education support and students with additional learning needs
Partnerships with families
It was exciting to see articles about Partnerships with Families of Children with Additional Needs being published on the Education HQ website for early years and primary teachers in Australia and New Zealand. This brand new title published by the team at Essential Resources has been written to help busy teachers find simple ways of working more effectively with families of children with additional needs - whether they are children with disability, children who have experienced trauma, or children who read, write or speak in languages different from their teacher and class mates.

EduTECH in Melbourne
Recently I had the chance to visit the EduTECH conference in Melbourne. It was a great chance to meet teachers and providers working in technology and education, and learn about what's new in inclusive education, AI, accessible classrooms, sensory rooms and health and wellbeing! ​It's a whirlwind event, with hundreds of educators busy checking out stalls, listening to presentations and networking - all together, in one enormous venue in Melbourne.

In the news
Partnerships with families of children with additional needs has been in the news lately. Take a peak at this great article written by Brendan Rees which was published in the Mornington Peninsula News in October.
Last month I caught up with Sarah Duggan from the Education HQ team for a great conversation about inclusive education. We chatted about how many teachers are fearful about getting things wrong when it comes to teaching a child with additional needs in a classroom, and how a whole of school approach can make a big difference to positive learning outcomes.
