What is the Portage Approach?

The Portage approach is an early intervention method aimed at children with developmental delays or disabilities. It focuses on breaking down learning into manageable steps and working closely with families to support the child’s development in everyday settings. The approach encourages collaboration between professionals and families to create consistent support.

This workshop aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills to implement this approach effectively, enhancing outcomes for children with SEND.
