This session will clearly link sensory activities to theory in order to increase sensory learning opportunities for a wide variety of pupils with SEND.

All resources, ideas and activities shared and discussed will ensure staff understand how to implement these with intent and effectiveness.  They can be used 1:1, in pairs and with small groups of learners.

Suitable for beginners or those feeling ready for a refresh, this course will be equally suitable for mainstream, special schools and alternative provisions.

Leave with a toolkit of ideas and strategies to use in your classroom the very next day!
