Making Sense of Sensory
This workshop will give you a detailed insight in to the sensory world of children, young people and adults with autism. People with autism have said that the world, to them, is a mass of people, places and workshops which they struggle to make sense of, and which can cause them considerable anxiety. Children, young people and adults with autism often sense the world around them in a highly individual way. It’s vital for practitioners to understand how sensory processing and sensory sensitivity differences affect learning and behaviour. AVAILABLE AS HALF/WHOLE DAY 'FACE TO FACE' OR 2 HOUR ONLINE ZOOM SESSIONS EMAIL |
