Course summary:
Sensory differences can have a significant impact on children with SEND needs, including ASC, ADHD, and developmental co-ordination difficulties. This can affect their ability to communicate, play and interact along with behaviour changes especially when overwhelmed.
The course will give a greater understanding of the sensory issues that can be experienced by children and how reasonable adjustments can be made, along with understanding the difference between sensory breaks and activity breaks and practical strategies to support children in early years.
