Event description
This course is aimed at practitioners who wish to explore creative, imaginative and practical ways of supporting children with sensory difficulties.
Most of us unconsciously learn to combine our senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, balance and the sense of our body in space), in order to understand our environment. However, a proportion of the population do not and these are the children with sensory needs.
This course will run as a practical session, looking in depth at sensory seeking or avoidance behaviours you may notice displayed by some children in your setting. We will discuss the impact of this for the child, the setting and the resources you have available, looking at strategies to help support your next steps for these children.
The session is designed to share ideas and resources to support children’s creative, physical and sensory development. Practitioners will be given the opportunity to plan and design their own activities and resources, and to share ideas to support good practice. Practitioners will gain confidence in supporting children with sensory needs through the use of sensory strategies, techniques and activities to increase focus and attention, allowing children to be ready to learn and achieve.
Please bring a packed lunch as lunches will not be provided.
(Those who have previously attended ‘Practical Inspiring Resources and Strategies to Support ALL Children’ should not attend this course.)
