In this workshop you will learn the importance of supporting sensory play within your setting.

Join Consultant Physiotherapist, and SEN Advocate, Jo McMeechan as she covers the 8 (yes 8!) sensory systems in the context of nature-based play, delivered through movement. We will explore the idea of building opportunities for inclusive and enriching sensory-motor experiences into your activities, by learning exactly how nature-based play can target each of the 8 sensory systems and how this contributes to development.

In this webinar, Jo will cover:

• an introduction to sensory systems
• the concept of the learning brain
• how to encourage opportunities for learning through sensory play
