SEN Home Training Platform

    An online training platform to support children with special educational needs and their parents

     

    It is essential for children with special educational needs (SEN) to attend training to learn different skills to improve their learning capability and practice the skills at home.  However, some parents lack the knowledge to monitor the progress of their children’s practice at home.  In light of this, the venture aims to fill the gap by providing an online learning platform which consolidates the SEN training tools and materials available in the market. Training demonstrations will be provided for parents to facilitate their children’s learning and practice at home.

    For proof of concept at the prototype stage, free access to the platform will be offered to SEN children from low-income families to reduce the financial burden on training expenses of these families, whereas paid service will be considered in future.
