A session exploring, how practitioners can implement environmental strategies to become a neuro-inclusive early year’s setting. We will look at the importance of the role of the adult, in supporting the development of early skills. In addition, we will share ideas in how to support our youngest learners to understand and celebrate difference.
This session will focus on the importance on physical development in the early years. There will be a particular focus on the importance of proprioception and vestibular balance, and how we can effectively support this development, within the early years setting.
This session will provide practitioners with an understanding of how executive functions develop in the early years. Throughout the session, we will explore how we can use play to develop and rehearse these key skills.
During this session we will explore the emerging characteristics of Autism in young children. Introducing early years practitioners to strategies that can be implemented within the setting.
The session will focus on the sensory world, and how, for some of our young children with neurodevelopmental conditions, this has been impacted. We will explore hyper-sensitive and hypo-sensitive presentations, and consider best-practise strategies that can be implemented in the early years setting.
This session will extend practitioner's knowledge of how children learn to manage their emotions, and how emotions influence behaviour. We will discuss the impact of neurodivergence on emotional regulation in the early years, and share practical strategies for supporting emotional regulation in your setting.
This session will explore how language is acquired, looking at the developmental stages/phases of early communication and language. We will focus on how to support this process for young children who may be showing a difference in this prime area of the EYFS Foundation curriculum.
This session will focus on exploring attachment, trauma and the developing brain. Best practice strategies will be introduced focusing on taking a trauma informed approach.
This session will focus on supporting parents/carers, at different stages of their journey, into understanding and supporting their child with emerging neurodivergence. We will explore early conversations, strategies that can be used at home, and signposting, whilst focussing on establishing positive and collaborative relationships.
