About this Event
Sensory needs are often overlooked or misunderstood in mainstream settings but for many pupils with SEND, unmet sensory needs are a daily barrier to learning, regulation and participation. Creating sensory-informed classrooms doesn’t require specialist equipment or major changes. It requires awareness, planning and a willingness to adapt.
This in-person training session, led by SEND Consultant Beth Connor, is designed to empower mainstream teachers and SENCOs with the knowledge and strategies to recognise and respond to sensory needs effectively. You’ll gain practical tools to support sensory regulation, reduce distress and create learning environments where all children can thrive.
In this training, you will learn:
- What sensory processing differences are and how they present in the classroom
- How sensory needs impact behaviour, attention and learning
- Signs a pupil may be experiencing sensory overwhelm (and what to do about it)
- Practical, low-cost strategies to support sensory regulation in everyday routines
- How to design classroom spaces that reduce sensory barriers
- Ways to individualise sensory support without isolating or stigmatising pupils
This session will equip you to build inclusive, supportive environments that meet sensory needs without compromising on expectations or learning.
Tickets are priced to take into account school budgets.
This event is targeted specifically at professionals who work with SEND children. If this is not you, you will not find the content relevant to you and we advise that you do not book on.
