Online Live Workshop 
16 November 2026 
Description
This workshop explores fidelity, adaptation, and professional clarity in school-based practice. It is especially relevant to participants using sensory integration-informed thinking within mixed models of support and ordinary school environments. The workshop considers what supports fidelity, what may helpfully be adapted, and where caution is needed to avoid dilution, confusion, or overstating what is being delivered.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- explain why fidelity and professional clarity matter in school-based practice
- discuss what can be adapted in schools, what principles still matter, and where caution is needed
- consider how to speak honestly about sensory integration-informed support in relation to school realities
- reflect on how to preserve clarity while remaining practical and responsive in context
- leave with stronger language for describing what their support is, what it is not, and where limits need to be named
Participants will learn it through careful teaching on fidelity and adaptation, discuss it in relation to real school constraints, apply it to their own models of work, reflect on professional clarity, and take it back into practice through more accurate and ethical language.
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.
