🚀BLAST - Boosting Language Auditory Skills & Talking.
🚀A speech, language & communication programme written by Speech & Language Therapist, Nikki Joyce.

🚀The BLAST programme is something which I regularly recommend to the settings I work with.
It’s fully inclusive and something all children can get involved with.
The programme has been proven to support the development of children’s speech, language & communication skills.

🚀With just a few adjustments, every activity can be pitched at the right level for every little learner.

🚀This is exactly what inclusive practice should look like.

🚀The programme is designed for three year olds however it can be used with older children who have SEND.
The easy to follow plans are loved by nurseries/schools and the activities are a huge hit with my little learners.

🚀BLAST 2 is also available for older children & focuses on underpinning skills for reading focusing on phonological awareness.

🚀Full details of both programmes can be found on the BLAST website www.blastprogramme.co.uk (🔗link in stories).

🌈SENDsational Discovery Groups🌈

Excited to announce the launch of my early intervention groups for families.
This is something I’ve wanted to offer from the very beginning of SENDsational Learning✨.

🌈Early intervention is key when it comes to child development, this need for early support is even greater for little ones who have SEND & for those showing signs of developmental delay.

🌈Specialist group sessions not only encourage children’s social & emotional development they provide a safe space for parents to come together helping them to build friendships & support networks with other parents who just “get it”.

🌈Alongside structured group activities including circle time & sensory stories to encourage communication and learning there will also be time for 1:1 intervention for each child.
For this reason group numbers will be kept small and places will be limited.

🌈Register your interest today, a warm welcome awaits along with advice and support for you and your little learner.
Together we can make a difference to all children’s learning. ✨

Sessions held at our clinic base High Street, Stokesley, Middlesbrough. ✨

🌈WHAT IS A SEND PRACTITIONER?

A SEND Practitioner is a qualified childcare professional who specialises and holds additional qualifications in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

🌈A SEND Practitioner supports children’s development across all areas of learning.

🌈For me the job satisfaction comes from spending time with the children & families, finding out what makes little ones “tick” and working out how we can incorporate this into children’s targets to encourage their development.

🌈There’s no better feeling than seeing children achieve their goals and watching the pride on a parent/carers face when they see their child accomplishing something for the first time.

It’s all about teamwork ✨.

🌈A P R I L 🌺
It feels like the month flew by in the blink of an eye.

🌈We celebrated one whole year of SENDsational Learning 🥳🎂, which I can’t quite believe.
I feel like I’m seeing so much progress from my little learners lately, especially those who have been with me from the start.
A year’s worth of getting to know you all and seeing you achieve your goals has been a privilege. ✨

🌈This month I squeezed in lots of CPD time, which felt like a treat to be honest.
Keeping up to date with new interventions for my little learners is always top of my priority list.
Even though I’ve been working with little learners for more than 23 years now, you never stop learning!

🌈Thank you to the team for having me at their drop in, it was lovely to meet you all. I’m always up for a coffee catch up. Email enquiries to
kerry@sendsationallearning.co.uk 😉😆☕️.

🌈Whatever your April looked like I hope it was full of life’s “little wins”✨.

🌈Now, let’s see what May has in store.

🌈I love tough tray activities, there’s no right or wrong, no pressure to complete a task, just endless learning opportunities.

🌈Bringing stories to life in this way provides opportunities for children to recall & retell stories in their own way.
Be sure to observe, wait and listen to little learners.
You’ll be amazed at just how much of the story children recall.

You may see them act out parts of the story, hear them recalling lines or using new words/signs.
Some children will prefer to explore stories in this “active” way rather than sitting and looking at a book.

🌈Well, did you guess the book📖 correctly? Let me know. ☺️

Child led intervention happens every single session, especially when it’s your Birthday! 😉🥳🚒

🌈When supporting little learners who have a visual impairment (VI) it’s important to create a sensory-rich environment and use clear communication strategies in order to promote as much independence as possible.
Over the years I’ve attend numerous training courses with organisations such as the RNIB and SENSE. In addition to having personal experience, supporting a loved one with a VI.

🌈Here are my top tips for supporting children’s learning when their vision is impaired.

💭COMMUNICATION & ENVIRONMENT
Use touch alongside spoken language.
Keep furniture and belongings in consistent places to foster independence.
Reduce glare from lighting and think about using contrasting colours when it comes to resources i.e yellow/black.
Provide lots of sensory cues i.e use rugs to mark areas such as the reading corner or smells to define areas within the home/classroom.
When using objects of reference, select them carefully, making sure they have sensory properties such as, using bubble bath to smell to signal its bath time.
Ask your child’s SLT or SEND Practitioner about Canaan Barrie On-Body Signing System to promote communication skills.

💭PLAY & LEARNING
Provide activities in trays so that children can explore without toys falling out of reach.
Use hand under hand support, rather than hand over hand (this can be very scary when your vision is limited).
Promote “active learning” providing lots of opportunities for children to explore independently. Fastening toys/objects to frames/trays on wheelchairs means that a child can easily retrieve items themselves if they fall out of reach.
Use on-body songs, rhymes and stories to provide a more meaningful experience for little learner’s.
Allow processing time and follow a child’s lead accordingly.

There’s so much we can do to support learning and development when a child has a visual impairment, working with other professionals such as specialist VI teachers is essential. It’s all about teamwork✨
