Feeling Safe: The Sensory Side of Play

Following our AGM, we are offering participants the opportunity to take part in a free, interactive, and practical workshop exploring how we can better understand and support children’s sensory needs through play.

During the workshop we will look at:

• The eight senses and how they influence the way children experience and respond to the world around them.
• Sensory preferences and bias – recognising that we all process sensory information differently.
• Sensory safety – understanding what children may need to feel regulated, comfortable, and ready to engage.
• Sensory circuits – exploring how these can be adapted for individual preferences, as well as how settings can use them together to assist transitions.
• Playful activities to support individual sensory profiles – exploring simple, fun activities that can be adapted to meet different sensory needs.

The session will be practical and interactive, with an opportunity to explore some of the physical sensory integration resources available, helping participants to consider how these could be used to support children in their own settings.

This event is also open to non-members.
