Avoiding SEND Mis-interventions in mainstream settings.

Schools often respond to SEND with more interventions, more paperwork and more adult support. Yet some well-intended approaches can reduce independence, narrow access to the curriculum and make inclusion harder to sustain. Using the story of Sam, this practical session examines ten common SEND mis-interventions and five evidence-informed classroom responses. Delegates will leave with a clearer way to question existing practice, strengthen universal provision and decide when additional support is genuinely needed. The five responses are not a checklist for every lesson but a framework for more thoughtful and consistent implementation.
