Live seminar presentation from Paces, Sheffield

Today  a Special Educational Needs seminar is being broadcast live over the internet from Paces Sheffield.
 
 
 
 Speakers include :
 
Janine Wigmore/Amanda Goulding  of Calderdale Parents and Carers
 
Debs Aspland  who is a co-author of the blog Special Needs Jungle and a mum to three children with various Special Education Needs.
 
Sarah McKimm, a solicitor working with IPSEA (Independent Parental Special Education Advice), a national charity which advises parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities.
 
Two seminars are planned and the next one is 25 September.
 
The chance to 'be there' is  a new thing for me and just shows how accessible the Internet has made everything, offering opportunities  to 'participate' in events that it is not possible to physically go to.
 
Such a system would be a valuable resource in  Conductive Education, where it is difficult to bring people together, and enable better and more frequent communication. Maybe the World Congress organisers are considering it for next month!
 
No doubt costs and technology will be important factors in making this possible.
