Sensory courses in Nottingham

Wednesday 4 June, 10am - 12.30pm Do you want to create sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but don’t know where to start? About this training In the UK, 11% of children are disabled and in England, 18.4% have special educational needs. Adding non-disabled siblings to these numbers increases this potential audience to a fifth of children in the UK. This simple fact is a powerful advocacy tool to make a business case for SEND inclusion in your museum. One way to support SEND families during a visit is to create a sensory backpack. These resources don’t cost a lot to create, and they can make a powerful difference to a SEND family’s visit. Their economic impact, promoting a longer dwell time and potentially greater spend in the museum, pays back an initial investment quickly. In this session, SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen will guide you through how to create a sensory backpack, drawing on her own professional museum learning knowledge and lived experience as a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). During this virtual training event, we will: · Understand the barriers SEND families face when visiting museums, · Explore examples of best practice in museums for creating sensory backpacks, · Share top tips on how to create backpacks that are bespoke for your setting. Take a look at the full schedule. This training event will be delivered virtually over two and a half hours (with a short break). Who should attend? This training is aimed at staff at museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to families with SEND.

I'd like to invite you to my workshop where we will be sharing the uses and benefits of using doTERRA essential oils for autism and sensory needs disorders, this workshop is not where we diagnose a treatment or cure for autism, we always recommend you to speak to a medical professional, but it is a workshop where we can learn, share and experience how customers and colleagues in our community have been using essential oils to support their children and themselves. You will learn how safe, and effective essential oils are and you will learn ideas that have been successfully used by both parents and children. We recognise and will discuss something we call 'triggers', example 'triggering' situations, a visit to the supermarket or getting dressed, a change to routine. How essential oils can be used daily as a routine and when to use them when there are signs of a 'trigger'. Also, suggestions that can help when full blow 'triggers' are happening, often referred to as 'meltdown'. Essential oils are not only supportive, but they are also empowering. If you would like to learn more, come along to my FREE workshop. Please note, this class is for my existing customers of our team and for those new to doTERRA essential oils. If you already have an account then please speak to those that introduced you to doTERRA about this topic and available workshops, if you aren't sure, then please reach out and I will try to help you. jackie.purpletrain@outlook.com
