Read how microbarriers are getting in the way of your SEN students’ progress – and ideas for removing obstacles in four areas of need

We all encounter microbarriers every day, those small hindrances which slow our progress and cause mounting frustration.

The good news is that teachers can learn to recognise and remove microbarriers, making learning accessible for all and enabling every student to reach their full potential.
