What is this training about?

Currently available at the pre-release price of £40. Training will be available from 30th May 2025. After this time the training price will increase to £60

This creative online training is focused on supporting your child or children using the senses. Together we will explore the 8 sensory systems, when and how they develop and how movement and the senses can be impacted by early disruption, trauma, loss and change.

This is a predominantly practical training with lots of ideas and tools to equip parents, carers and supporters to support a child to rebuild and scaffold the senses that might need more support and bring them back into their window of tolerance when they are dysregulated.

What are the learning aims?

Drawing from contemporary trauma-informed Occupational Therapy research and modern attachment theory, this training will give participants an understanding of:

  • The eight sensory systems​, including the body and movement senses of proprioception, vestibular and interoception
  • The possible impact that developmental trauma can have on the sensory systems
  • How living in survival mode impacts the senses
  • What happens when children are outside their unique window of what they can tolerate​.
  • How we can rebuild, scaffold and enhance the sensory systems
  • Everyday, sensory enriching activities to support your child to regulate, calm and focus

Who can attend this training?

This training is ideal for parents and carers or anyone who supports and works with children whose early life experiences may have disrupted their movement and sensory systems.

Professionals may benefit from the longer version of this training ‘The Power of the Senses’ which goes into more detail on the theory and offers an extensive range of resources for supporting children in your role. Find out more by clicking here.
