In short you will become equipped to be a sensory champion for your school. Schools are increasingly asked to manage ever more complex learners often with little in the way of outside support. The number of pupils with SEN is on the rise with over 1.6 million pupils in England alone having SEN of which a quarter have an EHCP. The most common type of need in pupils with EHCP’s is for autistic pupils and up to around 90% of these have some difficulties with sensory processing. These learners often face significant barriers to learning, including difficulty concentrating, heightened anxiety, and challenges with social interactions which can lead to lower academic performance and hinder their overall school experience. School Sensory Solutions is designed to empower educators with the knowledge and tools to help them meet the physical and sensory needs of their learners, make environments inclusive, enhance pupil engagement and improve outcomes.
