This event is for people who support people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, or people for whom the sensory world is paramount. It teaches the development of seven sensory systems and shows you how to apply this knowledge to your practice. As this is the Super Sensory Lexiconary we will consider more than seven sensory systems and be joined by inspiring guest speakers! Guest Speakers will be announced before the end of 2025 This course covers the whole of the Develop Your Sensory Lexiconary course and more - 'certified' relates to the core material, not the additional content. Description: Develop your sensory lexiconary and learn to use it to promote engagement, communication, cognition and wellbeing for those who experience meaning in a primarily sensory way. This course will teach you about the development of seven sensory systems and show you how to select and organise sensory resources in such a way as to engage people who do not use words in conversations, whilst also supporting their mental well-being and developing their cognition. As this is the Super Sensory Lexiconary we will look at some extra sensory systems as well being joined by our fabulous guest speakers. Each of your sensory systems has a development that it runs through. Sensations from early development are easier for the brain to process so can be relaxing/soothing, or they can register 'louder' as it were. Some people lead their whole lives in the early stages of sensory development. Understanding the development of the sensory systems can support you to know what sensations a person might be able to process and how to offer them the experiences next in the sequence, supporting their development. Understanding the development of the senses is also a useful tool when it comes to doing sensory detective work around the experiences of people who process sensory information differently. Everyone is welcome on these days but they are particularly suitable for: People who support individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities. People who are looking to use sensory communication with individuals in the later stages of dementia. People who work with babies and children in the early years who are looking to develop their sensory practice. Creative individuals looking to develop sensory works to engage with sensory communicators. People who work in special schools or run groups that support students from special schools. People with a particular interest in sensory literacy. Delegates on previous Lexiconaries have included: parents, foster carers, teachers from special and mainstream settings, portage workers, speech and language therapists, CAMHS team members, artists and actors, support workers, staff from hospital education teams, children's hospice practitioners, staff from dementia care settings, people supporting refugees and victims of trauma, people who support babies in the first months of life, staff members from CICs looking to support inclusion in society, social researchers, family members and more. I look forward to welcoming new diverse delegates in the future. Many delegates choose to attend for a second, third or even fourth time, so I also look forward to welcoming familiar faces too! Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with delegates describing it as "life changing" for the people they support.

Come along and enjoy this experimental course where you will learn the various steps to making your own bas relief plaster cast plaques. The course will cover rolling out the clay, designing and arranging the flowers creating your own layout for the casting process. The fresh flowers and foliage are pressed into wet clay, before plaster is poured in and given time to set. When the mould is removed, every detail is captured. After carefully hand finishing, they can be painted or left natural. (you will leave them in a natural state due to them needing to dry) We create 2 plaques one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Plaques are approx. 7.5x5.5inches. Option to add hanging hooks or leave blank creating beautiful botanical pieces of art for your home. There will be flowers and foliage for you to choose from however I do ask you bring a very small bunch of fresh flowers/herbs/leaves/wildflowers/grasses from your garden as it is always lovely to make a cast specific to your garden. Please bring an apron and wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy. If you wear glasses please remember these. The workshop will run from 10.30 to approx. 3.30pm. There will be a 45 min lunch break and morning and afternoon breaks. The price of the workshop includes all materials apart from the small bunch of fresh seasonal flowers foliage I ask you to bring with you. Please see photos for foliage flower inspiration. Experiance level : Beginner Artist bio: Tara is an artist who lives and works in Ilkley casting flowers and foliage from the countryside.
