Alba Tapia Vélez, hearing and language specialist teacher at CEIP María Sanz de Sautuola in Santander, gives a talk to students of the Master’s Degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and High School, Vocational Training and Language Teaching at the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), with the aim of making visible the work of a specialist in Hearing and Language that attends to diversity in an educational center.
The talk was given as part of the course “Fundamentals of Special Education: Processes of Attention to Diversity”, taught by Oliver Ramos. Tapia focused on linking the theoretical work developed in the classroom with the vision of a specialist, providing students with a practical and enriching vision from the field. The format of the talk was designed as a round table, so that students could ask questions about the topic, as well as share opinions and ideas on the subject.
Alba Tapia has a Master’s degree in Special Education and presented a paper that explored the connection between dyslexia, reading and ADHD, proposing meaningful interventions in this area. Tapia has a long professional career in the field of education, covering three stages of education: early childhood, primary and secondary. In addition, her experience is not only reflected in the classroom, but also in managing the attention to diversity in her day-to-day work as an integral part of a guidance team.
This initiative, promoted by the teaching team of UNEATLANTICO, seeks to provide the Master’s students with a deeper understanding of the practical aspects of attention to diversity, integrating theory with the real experience of leading professionals in the field of special education.
