Description
This workshop focuses on how school-based sensory integration work can grow beyond isolated individuals. It explores peer learning, reflective dialogue, mentoring, local networks, and shared tools as ways of strengthening consistency, confidence, and sustainability across teams, schools, and regions.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- explain the value of communities of practice in school based sensory integration work
- identify ways to build peer learning and shared reflection
- discuss barriers to consistency and confidence across teams
- reflect on realistic next steps for growing shared practice
- leave with ideas for strengthening support, mentoring, or peer connection in their own context
Participants will learn it through examples of shared practice, discuss it in tutor groups, apply it to their own team or region, reflect on barriers and enablers, and take it back into practice through realistic next steps for connection and support.
We know that school-based practice can look very different depending on your role, setting, and service model. Our small tutor groups are matched, as far as possible, by professional and practice context, for example, mainstream schools, specialist schools, visiting services, or integrated school-based roles. This helps OT, PT, SLT and wider AHP colleagues explore ideas in ways that feel relevant, supportive, and easier to take back into everyday practice.
Learn it. Discuss it. Apply it. Reflect on it. Take it back into practice.
