Can i work with special needs children?
Your course does allow you to work with children who have special needs, as the qualifications needed are the same as working in a mainstream school… Whoever told you it is rewarding is completely right ins aying so! It’s really amazing, just watching what they can do, because everyone usually feels sorry for people who have disabilities! So yeah! Your course should allow you to work in SEN school, but i think it would be as a classroom assistant, there are other courses you can do, especially for working with children who have special needs, although i don’t think there essential 🙂 Volunteer in the nursery like you’ve said, then keep a look out for jobs in SEN schools, then you have your NVQ L3 & you’ll have a good reference, if you can get into a SEN schoool, look out for one to one posts… 🙂 Tiny pointer, if you get an interview with a SEN school, dont say special needs children…
