Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion and Early Childhood Studies (Hons) Lincoln Bishop University

Overview

About this course

This Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion and Early Childhood Studies (Hons) degree at Lincoln Bishop University strongly supports an understanding of the crucial 0-8 stage of child development through a focus on individual needs and the broader sociocultural context of young children and their families. 

This is particularly significant in the light of the current government agenda to reduce child inequalities; prioritising prevention and early intervention; and building and strengthening local and cross sector services.

The BA (Hons) SENDI and ECS degree will provide opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important concepts such as multiagency working and different categories of need, in addition to offering opportunities for critical, reflective and evidence based practice in order that graduates might become advocates of change.

Career:
