I am Julia, head of education services at Scanning Pens, and I am an experienced SENCo with 25 years of teaching, training and advising experience. I specialise in literacy support but have also spent much of my teaching career working with students of all ages supporting learning, behaviour and wellbeing.

I hope that you will investigate the resources that I have created and find my supporting materials for teachers, SENCo’s and parents helpful. You will find a wealth of materials including case studies and research, guidebooks and resources to help you achieve some fantastic outcomes for your learners.

My mission is to help to close the reading gap. All learners should be able to access, enjoy, achieve and succeed regardless of challenge and additional needs. I believe that literacy difficulties can be explored and supported with compassion and understanding no matter how difficult the challenge may be.

Access to the right assistive technology and learning how to use it productively can vastly improve opportunities to succeed so we are delighted that you are here and exploring our resources.

Find me on Twitter @JuliaClouter supporting, encouraging and sharing. Let’s continue the conversation #SENCOHour and focus on creating solutions together. I am always happy to help if you need to ask a SENCo.
