Assessment can feel overwhelming for children with SEND - and for the parents and teachers supporting them. From Year 6 SATs and 11+ through to GCSEs and Post-16 pathways, it’s not always clear what help is available or how to make resources truly accessible.

In this practical and supportive session, Susan Day - CEO of Connect Design, Chair of UKAAF, and a Qualified Teacher of Children with Visual Impairments - will share clear strategies to help families and schools navigate assessment with confidence. You’ll discover what makes a resource inclusive, where to look for guidance, and how small changes can make a big difference to a learner’s experience.

This session also offers an exclusive first look at Connect Design’s new platform - Let’s Connect for teachers and parents - launching this October - designed to provide tools, advice and a supportive community for everyone involved in a child’s learning journey.

Whether you’re a parent guiding your child at home, or a teacher striving to make the classroom more inclusive, this session will equip you with knowledge and resources to help every learner succeed.
