Welcome!

Through our SEN Explained Series, we humbly endeavor to move the needle forward in the field of SEN, and larger society, for more intersectional and progressive conversations around neurodiversity. Our speakers have first-hand knowledge and experience across special educational needs. We want to share their expertise and experiences to impact not only our families, but educators, academics, voluntary and statutory sector professionals, and the public-at-large for more equitable understanding, treatment, and practice.

This session will look at how Sensory Processing challenges our ability to engage in activities, tolerate environments, and impact demand avoidance. The session will give understanding to what Sensory Processing is and how it impacts everything we do or don't do! Practical strategies will be embedded equipping the family and carers to use new strategies to impact everyday tasks.
