Sensory Inclusion: Using movement breaks to support learners

This training will be delivered in partnership with Norfolk Steps

• To develop an understanding of the eight sensory systems and how these typically develop through infancy and early childhood

• To understand that the impact of early trauma can be felt in a child’s sensory systems and how this might impact their presentation in school

• How to support children to feel regulated and improve focus in a busy learning environment

Delegates attending this session will:

• Be presented with the underpinning theories of sensory systems and begin to learn how these develop, and how they integrate

• Relate this theory to ourselves, and our own sensory strengths and difficulties, and begin to explore how we self-regulate as adults

• Start to recognise unseen barriers to learning and when children are in need of sensory input to maintain their regulation

• Develop a range of low-cost, low-resource strategies and activities that can be used to support children when they are in need of regulation

• This will be a practical and active session; please wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement
