Description
This workshop focuses on spotting and using natural sensory and praxis opportunities across everyday school spaces. Rather than assuming meaningful intervention only happens in a therapy room, it helps participants think about how movement, routines, transitions, environmental affordances, and social contexts across the school day can either support or block participation.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- identify sensory and praxis opportunities across common school environments
- discuss how different spaces may support or challenge participation
- suggest ways to use ordinary school routines more intentionally
- reflect on how these ideas could be adapted in their own setting
- select one school-based activity or routine that could be used more purposefully
Participants will learn it through school-based examples, discuss it in practice-matched groups, apply it to familiar spaces and routines, reflect on missed opportunities in their own setting, and take it back into practice through more intentional use of everyday environments.
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.
