Did you know? We offer a range of free training courses for staff from nurseries, primary and secondary schools to encourage taking learning outdoors. Thank you to @IBTTrees and our cohort of education staff who joined us this week 💚

@HelenATSLT @sallySLTAT Looks like a swan!

@sallySLTAT A great example of thinking flexibly in the moment and going with the person’s interests! Combining two ruling passions in one- electrical items and googly eyes. Win win! 😁

When the ruling passion of the child you’re visiting in nursery happens to be googly eyes, of course you go prepared by sticking a pair on your hand bag! Just need to remember to take them off…or maybe not! 🤣 #mysltday

In the words of one participant, "We need to be brave and implement these changes" It was so encouraging to host 20 dedicated professionals who are keen to better support the sensory needs of their learners.

Thanks to everyone who came to my course yesterday hosted by @YorksAgSoc Lots of discussion and buy-in to strategies which are good for all learners, not just #Neurodivergent ones. #SensoryCircuits #AttentionAutism #SensoryStories #FlipTheNarrative #Inclusion #NatureConnection

Lots of excited chatter about @IBTTrees sensory circuits sessions, showing us how to make use of the outdoors and natural materials. So many ‘aha!’ moments and people leaving feeling that they don’t need expensive equipment to make it work.

Loved running six sensory breaks at the Sheffield Schools' Sensory Conference today. I now need a brain break. @learnsheffield #SensoryCircuits #NatureConnection
