CCS - Occupational Therapy

Helping Children to be Ready to Learn' is a training package for all mainstream schools in Cambridgeshire.

There are two options to access this training;

Option 1:

Schools can book via Eventbrite, a 'face to face' training session on site (schools may also ‘partner’ up if it suits). The workshops will primarily focus on sensory differences and regulation strategies for a whole school / whole class approach.

For maximum effectiveness, each workshop will be limited to a maximum of 25 attendees and is open to all teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and support staff at the school.

The workshop is 90 minutes long and is interactive throughout.

Option 2:

Schools can watch the live recording of a Workshop and book onto a Question and Answer (Q&A) session with an Occupational Therapist via TEAMS.

The Q&A session will be one hour long. For maximum effectiveness, each Q&A will be limited to a maximum of 10 attendees and is open to all teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and support staff. Please only give the school office email address.

All participants will receive a workbook which is sent to the school office and will receive a certificate of attendance post event. We will also send some pre-learning links prior to the workshop which will be useful for attendees to go through.

The Learning Aims of the Workshop are:

· Having a whole school/whole classroom approach to reduce time needed out of the classroom

· Less disruption in the classroom and playground

· Children settling quicker and ready to learn

· Children having greater focus

· How to support a child to maintain regulation

· How to have the optimum learning environment

· Understanding why you may be making these changes
