TofIE is well underway and there have been many exciting progressions over the last few months. With our main objective to equip teachers with skills and knowledge about learning disorders, we have been very busy developing a handbook and doing a needs analysis among educators. Based on the contents of the handbook, a training course for educators was developed. 

Within the project, the team conducted a needs analysis among educators. This analysis helped them to assess their learning gaps, the difficulties they face and to evaluate their needs in supporting students with learning disorders and difficulties. 

Based on the outcomes of the needs analysis, a useful and comprehensive handbook for educators was developed that gives them practical resources and tools to support and better understand the learning methods of students with perception, attention, and concentration difficulties, such as attention deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder, or linguistic difficulties. This handbook is an important tool that can be used by educators in many contexts. It offers general information on different kinds of disorders. On top of that, it offers educators a useful resource of tips, topics, tools, and exercises that support them in teaching students in need of special attention.
