Interviews from the Tes SEND Show 2023

This month, the SEND Network attended the inspiring Tes SEND Show. While at the show, we spoke to exhibitors and speakers about who they are and why being part of a community is so important for SENCOs and teachers.

Dr Tracy Packiam Alloway is an award-winning psychologist specialising in memory and the brain. This year, she spoke at the Tes SEND show and, while there, created five videos for the SEND network that give a brief overview of her work. 

Each video focuses on an additional need. In the first part, Alloway describes the traits and brain functionality of a person with a specific need. Then, she looks at the superpowers a person with a particular need has and strategies to help these students in the classroom. As it is the last day of ADHD awareness month, we start the series with a video on ADHD. 

We covered Alloway’s keynote talk from the show, which you can find here. We also interviewed her for our coverage of the show. Watch or listen to the podcast or video version now!
