Online Live Workshop 
15 June 2026 
Description
This workshop examines the sensory, relational, emotional, and organisational demands of transitions. It covers both small daily transitions and larger educational transitions such as nursery to school, primary to secondary, or changes in placement. It is designed to help participants maintain continuity, reduce distress, and support participation at times when needs are often more visible.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- describe why transitions may be especially challenging for some children and young people
- identify sensory, relational, organisational, and emotional demands within transition points
- discuss practical supports for transitions across the day and across phases of education
- reflect on how transition planning could be strengthened in their own practice
- identify one way to make transition recommendations more participation-focused
Participants will learn it through transition-focused teaching, discuss it with peers across school contexts, apply it to familiar transition points, reflect on current planning approaches, and take it back into practice through clearer support recommendations.
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.
