Description
This collection brings together the workshops that help participants build the wider frame for practice. It focuses on participation, shared sensory language, explaining AHP roles in ways schools can use, advocacy, UK and Ireland policy context, communities of practice, and translating assessment into workable EHCP provision. It is especially well-suited to practitioners who want greater confidence in how they position sensory integration-informed work within school systems and communicate it more clearly to others.

Across this collection, participants will learn it through focused teaching, discuss it in practice-matched tutor groups, apply it to real school systems and communication dilemmas, reflect on their own context, and take it back into practice through clearer language, stronger provision, and greater professional confidence.
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.
