Tell me you're a school based without telling me!

It's the end of term and all equipment has been returned for stock check and redistribution. What can you spot?

What a great podcast with School Sensory Solutions with Ali Neal explaining all things sensory. Laura often collaborates with Ali and has something exciting in the pipe line for 2026. https://sensoryclassroom.org/pages/podcast?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwLps3dleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp0mCpQPEy5ylkQPFF66ldHhnZjRYD59-nHB3T4-opFzFBmw7RxzNNbzuK7Ej_aem_VHId8U-48G-8nQnCdGVQtg

This one is for all the Occupational Therapists out there! Laura is enjoying a few days away in Hay on Wye and spotted this....for those catch phrase fans out there "Say what you see" ......... A BATH SEAT. Probably not going to be much use but a novel place to stop and enjoy the view!

It's been almost a month since Laura was speaking at the ADHD and Autism Show in London on sensory seeking and hyperactive behaviours in people with ADHD. We explored that not all "sensory seeking" is the same and how as Occupational Therapists we focus on when occupations and participation are impacted.

Last month Laura delivered a workshop for parents and carers all about feeding, we looked at the underlying skills needed for feeding, the sensory components of feeding, the barriers many individuals face with feeding and introduced concepts including "food jagging" "the learning plate" "chaining of foods". Can you guess what the theme is for to platters in the pictures?

We love this message! So often we get referrals for "difficulty sitting still" so inappropriate for young children. Just because you are moving doesn't mean you aren't actively listening... https://www.facebook.com/share/19T9SVGVMd/

It's great that the Times Educational Supplement (TES) have published this article all about DCD / dyspraxia. This much misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition is the subject of Laura's first book, co authored with fellow OT Sue LLoyd. It is packed full of stratergies and resources to support a young person with DCD. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Developmental-Coordination-Disorder-Dyspraxia-Help/dp/1913414159 https://www.tes.com/magazine/teaching-learning/general/what-is-dcd-dyspraxia-and-how-does-it-affect-learning?fbclid=IwY2xjawLJ5wFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHsFFLIiR_EdZJnmfXTXemiZXx7FGMx3iwp-IQw41WS8eIhQ3m7DcHlQxAoaz_aem_CtDeGFNu7-JKbEgJRkrdNw

Developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) affects as many children as ADHD but is widely misunderstood. So, what do teachers need to know about this condition?

What a great post from Integrated Learning Strategies about movement in classrooms and the benefit to other elements of education. As a school based Occupational Therapist Laura is constantly advising an increase in movement based activities, be that movement breaks for individuals, whole class or scheduled sensory circuits.
