Training and Development
At SensoryPlus, we are committed to supporting our customers long after the purchase of their sensory equipment.
Our work within sensory over years has provided us with the knowledge to create superb environments, but without the understanding of the solutions that these rooms provide, we would easily have overlooked some of the more useful aspects of these environments.
We work with a number of Occupational Therapists to provide these solutions and to ensure that our product range is suitable and appropriately engaging.
We also now work with a very special OT, Eve Barrett Baines, who has agreed to provide a range of services which we are now very proud to offer as the following training courses. Eve's experience covers a wide range of conditions - please see her website to find out more about Eve.
Below are our current training courses. If you need any more information than is shown on our individual training page, please do get in touch.
Level 1 Training - SensoryPlus Awareness Days
Join Eve and the team on a day designed to help you and your team understand the principles of sensory processing theory. We'll focus on how to get the very best out of your sensory resources, help you understand the concept of providing a sensory diet and give you the chance to see some of the latest sensory innovations.
This is provided over a full day, with three speakers over five sections. Every attendee will take away a better understanding of the importance of sensory provision, fundamental best practice and practical tools to put this into effect.
