UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON LEARNERS' SENSORY NEEDS

This is a one-day programme.

(This programme can be accessed in person or as a virtual (online) programme with equivalent timed modules).

​

‘Up to 16.5 % of general population experience symptoms associated with sensory integration’. NHS England

(This is equivalent to one in six people perceive sensory information in a way that has a negative impact on their everyday lives).

We will explore:

  • The importance of the sensory system to the learning process.

  • How an undeveloped/disrupted sensory system can affect learning.

  • The impact of trauma on our sensory system.

  • How early experiences influence the development of our senses and with a particular focus on interoception, tactile, proprioception and vestibular.

  • How unmet sensory needs influence behaviour, mental health and learning. (What you may see and how you can help)

  • How we can identify learners’ sensory needs and provide effective targeted solutions.

​

Have you ever wondered?

  • Why some learners fidget and get up to sharpen their pencil time and time again?

  • Why you need to ask some learners constantly to stop rocking on their chairs?

  • Why some learners practice and practice regulation strategies but never use them at the appropriate time?

Join us on this programme to find out and explore simple and effective strategies to meet learners’ sensory needs.
