On the 30th November 2021, CDC ran a national webinar on Approaches to Sensory Support. The webinar was aimed at health professionals who work with children with SEND and strategic leads (SEND Leads, Children's Health Commissioners, DCO/DMOs, DSCOs), as well as parent/carer forum representatives.
The webinar consisted of an introduction from Amanda Allard, Deputy Director at the Council for Disabled Children; a presentation from Sally Payne, Professional Advisor for CYP and Families at Royal College of OT, titled ‘Towards a better understanding of sensory processing’; and 2 good practice examples from Alycia Keyes, Advanced OT at the Humber Sensory Processing Service, and Birgit Peeters, Clinical Lead Children’s OT at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust.
We finished the event by going into smaller breakout groups for reflections and discussions, which weren’t recorded.
