Welcome to the webinars section of our website.
ILSA are delighted to present our series of webinars which are aimed at special education teachers in primary school and post-primary school contexts. This series was devised due to the fact that we regrettably had to cancel our Annual Conference in 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
However, we have worked with a variety of presenters to bring this series of webinars to teachers of special education. We hope that you find these webinars helpful, supportive and beneficial to your practice during these unprecedented times. If you have any feedback or suggestions please email ilsanationalcommittee@gmail.com.
