As an ASC/SLD SEN teacher, you will support pupils whose primary needs relate to autism, including communication differences, sensory needs, social interaction challenges, and flexible/structured learning approaches, as well as severe learning difficulties.

They may need highly individualized, practical, and repetitive learning programmes.
