This programme offers practical strategies and assessment methods to improve communication and social interaction skills in special needs students. HOST: Interesting. What current industry trends or challenges do you think this course addresses? GUEST: One trend is the emphasis on evidence-based intervention techniques. This course focuses on such approaches, ensuring educators are well-equipped to support students effectively.
