Neurodiversity in Early Learning Part 3
29th Apr
Neuro Friendly Series

Led by:

Geoff Morgan - Assistant Principle Educational Psychologist, Bury Local Authority

Description:

Bury Community Educational Psychology Service and Oak LP Outreach are pleased to offer a three-part training for nurseries and schools designed for early years and key stage one settings who are currently supporting neurodiverse children such as those with significant communication delays who may be autistic or awaiting diag-nosis for autism. This applies to children with restricted interests and attention, dif-ficulties managing emotions and limited verbal communication or social interaction. Due to high levels of need and demand for services and special school places, mainstream settings are increasingly required to develop their skills in supporting children with more complex needs. The training sessions are designed to develop the confidence and understanding of practitioners such as special needs coordina-tors (SENDCos), teachers, nursery workers and teaching assistants. The training focuses on developing the “building blocks” of regulation, attention and communi-cation using play, interests, routines and structured activity. This training is strong-ly influenced by the Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Supports (SCERTS) Model™. The SCERTS Framework Explained by Emily Rubin, MS, CCC-SLP (youtube.com) Part 3 - Social Communication The aim of this training to develop our skills and confidence in developing purpose-ful communication in young children (aged 3-6) who show very restricted commu-nication and social skills. Neurodiverse children may often show very restricted communication skills such as speech, gesture, facial expression or eye contact. This makes it difficult for them to tell us what they want or what is going on for them. By deepening our understanding of these differences, we can plan and action ways to support them to communicate and interact.
