Online Live Workshop 
8 July 2026 
Description
This workshop focuses on explaining occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and sensory integration-informed practice in ways that connect with school priorities, language, and realities. It is designed to help participants speak more clearly to teachers, support staff, leaders, and decision makers who may not yet understand AHP roles, may expect quick strategies, or may not see the value of deeper formulation and reasoning.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- describe the AHP contribution in language that fits school contexts
- identify ways to explain sensory integration-informed work to teachers and senior leaders
- discuss common misunderstandings and how to respond to them
- reflect on how they currently explain their role and where this could be clearer
- identify one stronger way to frame AHP input for a school audience
Participants will learn it through practical teaching on communication and role clarity, discuss it in tutor groups, apply it to familiar conversations with staff and leaders, reflect on their current explanations, and take it back into practice through clearer messaging.
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.
