The Sensory Projects invites professionals and family members who support people described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities to The Bridge.
This event aims to be the link between the latest research and the heart of daily practice. I believe, unequivocally, that people described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities have the right to care and support informed by the most current understanding and evidence, just as much as anyone else does.
The day will be an adventure in the space between research and practice. We will hear from a diverse range of voices: researchers unearthing new understanding and sharing long established insight, experienced front-line practitioners showcasing innovative strategies and letting us learn from their hard earned wisdom, and parents and people with profound and multiple learning disabilities offering invaluable lived insights gleaned from their own journeys.
The event will be hosted by Dr Jo Grace. Speakers will be announced before the end of 2025. The day will have keynote presentations, workshops, delicious food and information and discussions to be had in multiple ways all day.
The Bridge offers a compassionate and collaborative space, a unique opportunity to gain actionable knowledge, refine your skills, and champion the best practices. Empower your practice with knowledge, empathy, and a shared vision for truly bespoke, accessible, and rights-affirming support for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
Together we will build the bridge and ensure research-informed practice is available to people described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities.
