This course provides an introduction to how children on the autistic spectrum experience and process the sensory world around them. Participants will explore the seven key sensory systems - visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular and proprioceptive - and how differences in these areas can impact behaviour, emotional regulation, and engagement in learning. The session will focus on recognising signs of sensory processing difficulties and offer practical, autism-informed strategies to support pupils in both primary and secondary settings. Attendees will leave with greater insight and confidence to create more inclusive, supportive learning environments for autistic children.

Let us take you to 18th Century London to hear the music of Handel and his contemporaries. We will entertain you at opera houses, in concert halls, pleasure gardens and churches with an exciting repertoire of secular and spiritual pieces from this period. This is a time when London flourished with public concerts as operas and chamber music grew in popularity. The elegant Baroque music of this period reflects the growing confidence and sophistication of the capital city. From Handel at his most pastoral to Arne at his most patriotic the programme will evoke the many different styles of chamber music from this century. We will be joined by Vivace who will help us recreate the vibrant musical playground of Georgian London. Information Source: Cantate Choir | eventbrite

Lego therapy is an intervention devised by Dr LeGoff (2004), it has been researched and identified as being beneficial for many children and young people with social communication and interaction difficulties (autistic spectrum). This workshop aims to teach adult facilitators the benefits of Lego therapy as an intervention for children on the autistic spectrum. Whilst understanding the theory of Lego therapy, there will be the opportunity for delegates to take part in a session which illustrates how Lego therapy differs from merely playing with Lego. It will look at the outcomes for many young people (i.e. developing social skills such as turn taking, social negotiations and collaborative play). The workshop will also demonstrate the roles of those involved (including adults) and explains how this can potentially improve the social opportunities for young people. Recent Feedback “We have worked with a number of children with various needs. They have loved it and it is really helping them to develop vital skills for life.
