The Sensory Aware Early Years Toolkit - Book Launch and FREE CPD Event

The Sensory Aware Early Years Toolkit Book Launch and FREE CPD Event

Join authors Alice Hoyle, Tessa Hyde, Janet Rose and Charlotte Forrester to celebrate the publication of The Sensory Aware Early Years Toolkit: Approaches to Enhance Sensory Wellbeing in Your Setting.

We are delighted to be holding the launch at Norland University of Early Childhood, where co-author Professor Janet Rose is Vice Chancellor.

This friendly, interactive event will include a free CPD session introducing the book’s whole-setting approach to sensory wellbeing. We will explore how sensory experiences affect young children’s regulation, behaviour, communication, play and learning, with practical ideas that can be used immediately in early years practice.

The event is ideal for early years practitioners, SENCOs, leaders and anyone interested in creating environments where children and adults can feel safe, understood and able to thrive.  We particularly welcome those who can share the learning with colleagues and help sensory-aware practice spread across their setting and wider networks.

You will:

• Explore the importance of our eight senses
• Consider the relationship between sensory needs, regulation and behaviour
• Discover practical ways to make routines, environments and interactions more sensory-aware
• Get an introduction to the book’s tools, activities and whole-setting approach
• Have the chance to meet the authors and celebrate the book’s launch

The session will be interactive, so please bring a smartphone or tablet if you can.

This event is free, but booking is essential. Bookings are limited to a maximum of three places per setting. 

Please note for this event there is only on street car parking (free with a 2hour limit) available on Upper Oldfield Park. We reccomend you walk, cycle or liftshare!
