AI is everywhere, but what does it actually look like in a mainstream classroom supporting learners with SEND? This hands-on seminar cuts through the noise to show you what works right now: adapting resources to match reading ages without patronising students, turning mountains of documentation into usable one-page profiles, creating social stories with AI-generated images, and navigating data safety so you know which tools are safe for student information. You'll leave with practical prompts, a clear framework, and the confidence to start your AI journey on Monday morning.
