SAVE THE DATE – Sensory Regulation Training Sessions
We’re pleased to share the dates for our upcoming three-part sensory regulation training series.
Booking link and more details to follow soon.
Monday 9th March 2026 – 10.30–11.30am
Session 1: Making Sense of Sensory Needs – Understanding Behaviour Through a Sensory Lens
This foundational session introduces the eight sensory systems and explores how sensory processing differences can present in classrooms and at home. Attendees will develop a clear understanding of sensory modulation, including over-responsivity, under-responsivity and sensory seeking, and how these patterns may influence behaviour, attention and emotional regulation.
The session will also explore active and passive regulation responses and how sensory needs can sometimes be misinterpreted as defiance, avoidance or disengagement. By the end of this session, participants will feel more confident recognising sensory patterns and understanding what behaviour may be communicating about a child’s regulation and sensory experience.
Wednesday 18th March 2026 – 6.00–7.00pm
Session 2: Capacity, Stress & Predictability – Preventing Overload Before It Escalates
This session builds on the foundations of Session 1 by introducing the concept of regulation capacity and how sensory needs can ebb and flow across the day. Using a practical “capacity battery” framework, we will explore how stress, transitions, masking and environmental demands can reduce a child’s ability to cope.
The session will highlight the powerful role of predictability in supporting regulation and reducing overwhelm. Participants will gain insight into how small adjustments to routines, preparation, transitions and environmental demands can protect capacity and prevent escalation – supporting all children, including those who may be neurodivergent or impacted by stress and trauma.
Monday 23rd March 2026 – 3.30–4.30pm
Session 3: Creating Sensory-Smart, Predictable Schools – A Whole-School Approach
This session moves from individual understanding to whole-school practice. It explores what a sensory-smart and regulation-aware school environment looks like in practice, across primary and secondary settings.
We will consider how shared language, consistent routines, thoughtful transitions, flexible movement opportunities and predictable adult responses contribute to emotional safety and readiness to learn. The session will support schools to reflect on how everyday practices (including how change is communicated and how behaviour is responded to) can either increase stress or strengthen regulation.
By the end of this session, participants will have a clearer understanding of how universal, whole-school approaches can reduce sensory overload, improve consistency and create environments where all pupils feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
