Online Live Workshop 
Description
This workshop responds directly to one of the strongest needs raised across the planning conversations. It focuses on how therapists and wider AHP colleagues can work meaningfully in ordinary school spaces when there is no dedicated clinic, limited equipment, little privacy, and constant negotiation around time and access. It supports practical, creative, and ethically grounded thinking about what can be done in the spaces schools actually have.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- identify challenges and opportunities for sensory integration-informed work in ordinary school spaces
- suggest practical ways to use classrooms, corridors, halls, playgrounds, and outdoor spaces more intentionally
- discuss how to adapt ideas for settings with limited time, space, and equipment
- reflect on what is realistic and professionally sound within their own context
- take away at least one practical idea that could be trialled in an existing school environment
Participants will learn it through examples from real school environments, discuss it with peers in similar settings, apply it to their own spaces, reflect on constraints and possibilities, and take it back into practice with realistic next steps.
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.
