Online Course on Understanding SEN and Academic Adjustments – Earn Micro-Credentials and Advance Your Teaching Skills
Last December, the university launched our first self-study online course on Special Educational Needs (SEN). We are now excited to announce the second course, which explores various types of SEN, including hearing impairments, physical disabilities, mental and neurodevelopmental disorders, chronic illnesses, visual and speech impairments, and practical strategies to address these needs.
This series is a collaboration between the Dean of Students Office at HKUST and Hong Kong Baptist University. The third course, focusing on designing an inclusive campus, will be available next year.
