On this programme there will be a focus on Additional Learning Needs or 'ALN' a term used to describe learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for a child to learn compared to other children of the same age. By focusing on additional learning needs (ALN), also widely known as special educational needs, you will learn about children’s development through 3-11 years, including neurodiverse learners.
