Transformative learning: an autoethnographic account of an SpLD specialist’s transformative learning journey

Date

Abstract
This is an autoethnographic account of my own transformative learning as an SpLD specialist doing an MSc and a PhD. Here I investigate what transformative learning means and how postgraduate study transformed me as a person as well as transforming my practice. I advocate that SpLD specialists who work with adult learners need to reflect on our learning and to engage in transformative learning opportunities. Transformative learning is a holistic approach that can help us to develop connections with our learners while also developing our practice.
