Registration for the 2025 Adaptive Teaching Conference is now live!
Following the success of the 2024 Adaptive Teaching Conference, More House School (Frensham), and Charterhouse School will be running a second ‘Learning Beyond the Label’ event in 2025!
Join us to hear research from experts in the field of neurodiversity, and explore strategies and approaches to supporting Special Educational Needs in the classroom with school-based practitioners.
Learning Beyond the Label is an event for educational professionals supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This is a perfect opportunity to hear about current research into neurodiversity and adolescent mental health, and gain insight into the CALM study that is evaluating and challenging diagnostic frameworks for identifying and supporting children with special educational needs.
