The Special Educational Needs and Inclusion Conference (SENICON) is a gathering of inclusive education stakeholders convened by Basirat Razaq-Shuaib on behalf of The Winford Centre for Children and Women. The cross-cutting nature of disabilities with other barriers to inclusive education requires additional attention to be paid to ensuring that more children with disabilities and neurodiversity are able to access education and participate fully in learning.
With the global education focus shifting to inclusive mainstream education for all learners, and the current reshaping of the future of learning, there is an increasing need to navigate the journey to inclusive education in Nigeria given the other constraints currently experienced in the education sector and in the country as a whole. This conference is a platform for policymakers, practitioners and beneficiaries to explore innovative and sustainable ways of supporting learners with special education needs going into the future.
The conference will feature keynote speeches, engaging panel discussions and presentations to bridge the gap between policy and practice. Attendees will benefit from gaining insights on best practices for ensuring inclusive education for the under-served and excluded. Private sector organisations will identify areas of focus for CSR and investment.
